It is very likely that it is the actuator for the front axle. They are kind of in a vunerable spot and can get cracked allowing water in, shorting out the electronics.

is that the plug that is ( i think) on top of the t-case? because i know a while back i just wrapped it around in black tape....

The front axle actuator is on the front axle itself. It is located to the passenger side of the differential 'pumpkin'. The original actuator in your truck is an electro-magnet. GM has since revised the design and has a kit that will upgrade it to the stepper motor version which doesn't draw anywhere near the current.
