Hello ClintC. I hope all is well.
I looked at your picture and it seems to be some kind of vacuum diaphram housing to operate some component.
Can you provide more information? Location, truck year, model, engine etc.
What do the tags read? They are hard to see.
I am sure someone will identify it.
Please advise.
Be well and stay safe out there.
Best wishes to you and all of your loved ones.

Weird. My guess is filter. Blow into both sides and see what happens?

Yeah, I'm going with filter/strainer.
@Turbo4whl got an idea? It looks like something you may have experience with?

Yes, aftermarket oil filter. Sometimes a replacement steering pump is boxed up with a filter. Though is if the pump failed, there would be crud in the oil. Add the filter so the replacement pump dosen't fail.

Thank you for the lesson on that little mysterious looking unidentified nonflying object.

Or maybe to help with a little extra capacity or to help eliminate foam up, regulator valve,hard to say. I've never seen anything like that on power steering before lol

It will add capacity which does help with cooling.
