What is this in my engine bay?

I'm surprised no one commented on how it looks like there are 2 positive cables? My tray looked like that and it is a lot better after a wire wheel and a few coats of rattle-can silver.
As far as batteries, I was getting take-outs from a local salvage yard for $30 with a 6 month warranty. Otherwise the Energizer line from Sams Club cost a little more but have an extra year of free replacement so I figure they must be good or better if they can have a longer guarantee than all other brands I've looked at.

I was messing with my battery and cleaning up and over flow (2nd time due to ****** carquest battery) when I noticed a fuse relay connecting to the postive terminal then going all the way across the engine bay to something mounted near the master cylinder on the firewall. Anyone know what this is? Also any good battery brand recommendations? My truck is a 96 k1500 reg cab 5.7 nv3500

I don't know about the cable to the battery, but the box on your firewall is the factory cruise control 'brain'. My '99 Suburban (completely unmodified vehicle) has the identical unit. That's why the big cable goes to the throttle linkage. Surprised no one else got this.

Just so y'all know the fuse and wire run all the way to what I believe is the speed control for the cruise on the firewall. I just wanna know what the factory setup it like
