What is this plug?

That looks like the cable for the underhood light. If you have one of those then it's probably for the reel light that is optional.

lol yep that's what it is. The hood isn't currently on it right now but I looked at it and it does go to the hood light. Thanks for your help everyone.

Mine has it. I reckon it would be pretty horrible to drive if the level of assistance at parking speed prevailed at road speeds.

It most certainly is. Full boost at highway speeds will make you think twice about any kind of steering input. I will never understand the people who unplug the column sensor (putting the system in full boost all the time) and then just leave it that way. They're out there, though.

Bonus nerd trivia, EVO stands for Electronic Variable Orifice.

That hanging wire looks kinda far away to reach the back of the PS pump, to me.

Happy to take your word on that rather than having to endure it (I've only ever driven a GMT400 with EVO).
The steering was a revelation when I got this truck. Effortless at parking speeds and perfectly weighted at road speeds to encourage and enable precise decisive inputs which translates to perfect road positioning in cornering. For a 2.5 ton truck - I've driven cars weighing half that with much worse steering - it's a considerable achievement.
