on my 3.0 there is this weird box. from the pcv there is a tube that goes to the bod up near the radiator and then to somewhere else. what is it, and its purpose?

 

the one with the two holes in the top

 

keep your bullets in their?

 

Thats your conuter Valve. You have to have a Sprocket Turbulator to adjust it.

What????


thats what the whole thing is? that is a big valve
what would adjusting it do?
what does it do?

 

vaccuum related isnt it

 

thats what i was thinking

 

i guess my answer is wrong...lol

 

its the flux capacitor

 

It used to be a carbon canister for control of evaporative emissions primarily from the fuel tank. The activated charcoal attracts and retains hydrocarbon molecules from the escaping vapor to be burned later when the engine is running. Yours looks rather wasted. There should be vented caps over those two holes to keep the charcoal dry.

 

would a local shop have one?
how much would they be??


i love that movie!

 

You can buy a replacement from a Ford dealer, maybe elsewhere. It has no effect on how your truck runs or how long it will last. A new one would help the air pollution situation a tiny amount though.

 

ok, then i am not going to worry about it

no need to dump unneeded money into this thing

 

wow

 

wow

thanks man

i wonder how many people on here could have told me that
