What are? Two factory plugged up elec harness connectors..

[GSP7]

'99...Coming out of the big wiring harness below the vp44 at the side, front, area of the motor right where the engine serial number tag is. There are two electric connectors that are factory plugged.

Just curious if anyone knows what they were supposed to be for. They both have factory connector plug caps on them

I thought '99 trucks had both styles of data link connectors - a 3 pin flat blade and also a 3 pin triangle.  I didn't think they were that far forward though.

Data link connectors.

Where can I get a "data link"  to plug in there ?

The purpose of those plugs is to be able to monitor the ECM.  Some tuners (Quadzilla, Edge, etc) use one of those connectors to monitor the ECM data and modify the signal for fueling and timing.  Usually nothing goes in those plugs, which is why they are capped.
