Radius arms are a specific type of suspension. A 3-link can be one of several different suspension set-ups.

 

theres a couple different 3 links. In all technicallity a 3 link like im building with 3 Links and one panhard is a 4 link and a 4 link with a panhard is a 5 link. That makes a radius arm setup a 2 link with pan hard aka 3link. Thats why so many times they are refered to as different things. A radius arm setup gives you crappy pinion angle through out travel, where as a true 3 or 4 link with independent links the pinion angle can be adjusted depending on the lengths of the links.

 

 

 

i think it is a vacuum selenoid

 

whats it do?

 

if that ^^ is the case then it might be for your PVH you had.

I know i dont have that on my truck.

Looks like big progress today!

I thought the 2 links out of the 3 was going to be on the passenger side?

 

i could be totally wrong. when i had an insufficient egr flow code on my 3.0 i tried replacing a part that looks identical to that one. mine was mounted to the back of my coil pack though and had 2 tubes running into it. i believe it controlled vacuum to the egr.

 

i dont have the header mounted egr and i didnt have PVH either. I had the live axle setup.

 

they are, thats the passenger side lower, Im in the process of doing the driverside lower right now. I have to measure and order the upper link still.

 

damn looks good dude.

 

is this what it looks like?

 

Wow. Glad to see progress is being made again. Soon you'll be able to put some wheels on the front.

And dude love the rear bumper. I'm too lazy to go back and look, so I'll just ask here... is the rear bumper C channel or tube? Either way looks sturdy and solid. Gonna have to do something like when I do mine.

Also, where did you get those Super Pivot joints for the links?

 

oh ok i thought you had a pocket that held both not two different pockets.

 

if i am correct it is part of the fuel evap system,it should tell you about it on the little black tag in the photo,do you have a canister under the bed??if so i think it is connected to it some how.

 

if that is the fuel evap system i wonder if I need it? I have to make space for the coilovers and its in the way.

 

The rear bumper is 2x4 3/16 box steel.

The superpivots are from suicidedoors.com as they made my links for me.

 

if you dont know for sure, can you at least maybe relocate it somehow?

 

Im looking to eliminate as much as possible on the truck thats not needed. I already got rid of the cruise control, I hope I can get rid of it, but if not i guess ill relocate.

 

yeah **** it.. its an offroad machine

 

i think it might be important,you might be able to delete it,but i do not know,this might help

hmm so what im reading is that its just emissions stuff. Since the truck is no longer a road vehicle I guess I can get rid of it along with the charcol canister.

 

you going with a cell? forget the evap equip. not going to be road legal anyways.

 

yup,it will throw a code,but there is ways to fix that.

 

yea Im planning on running a fuel cell, with my stock pump.
