Strange black box under bed

I have always woundered something, under the bed of my 1997 F150 there are two black plastic looking boxes with wires and tubes going into them, each about the sise of a red brick or so, mounted on top of a frame part in the center in front of where the spare tire would go, pretty much right above the axle. Anyone have any ideas what those things are?

They are GPS tracking and listening devices placed there by the federal government to spy on you!!! I have them too. I wrap aluminum foil around the boxes and play TOOL really loud on my stereo to counteract them. if you need any help with them call me, 1-800-par-anoid...

I think you might have John Gotti old f150 don't cut the blue wire with the red one together or it will detonate the C4 packed in the boxs.

I liked the comments. I knew talking about blak boxes would draw some of those. Haven't seen any black helicopters following me around yet. Maybe they are invisible....

Thanks for the info. Always woundered what it was. Was working under there the other day on some corroded wires and noticed it again...

Thanks again!

isn't the tracking device built into the PCM? Transmits wirelessly, cell phone towers aren't just good for cell phones you know. No need to have a vehicle following you, Big Brother is Watching!!! What was that phone number? 1-800-????
