Thought she might have more than one home. Some people aren't as poor as I am!

 

Oh crap. Ya sorry i should update that. I'm stationed in Oahu, HI right now and I'll be moving to Dallas TX in January. So salvage yards here (if they exist) are probably super shady and won't have anything usable.

My friend told me about LMC trucks site....but the links don't work for me. I'll try again this afternoon after I get my truck jump started

 

Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

Does this help?

 

From the pics you posted, it looks like this is the canister setup you will be looking for. However, I believe any canister that you can hook up will work. All it has to do is hold and store vacuum. Yours was not in this location originally, I moved mine to install some other junk, uh, I mean cool mods!



I also saw this unhooked in the background. Yours is red. This needs some attention also.

BTW, tell us a little more about your truck. Specifically engine size and trans, 2WD or 4WD.

 

got the parts ordered. should be here saturday if I'm lucky

(may have to move mine like you moved yours. my pa system is probably gonna be in the way haha)

about my truck....bare with me. everything ive learned about my truck ive had to piece together. i got NO background from the guy i bought it from and i had very little paper trail.

engine is a '96 windsor 351 (V8)
trans is AOD (I believe)
4x4
has a flowmaster exhaust (no idea which one. no paperwork and no ID or numbers on it that I can read)
6" lift with 36x14.5 15LT super swampers (SO LOUD)

I should just rename this thread the Fudd has problems thread.

Stupid check engine light came on....its done it 3 times. First time. I was offroading second te was when my gas cap cracked and then this morning...this IS the first time its done it 2ce tho. Idk Im gonna pretend there is no problem until I go out and crank it up again and see if it comes back on. Lol

 

Yup. Definitely staying on....think its my oxygen sensor now. Fun times.

 

With all the vacuum mess you have I'm surprised the light wasn't already on! It's probably the egr system not working properly because of lack of vacuum. Fix the obvious first, then run the codes and see what you have.

 

it hasnt stayeed on either. it flashed on this morning while i was parking. turned on again for a few seconds driving to my company, and then i turned it on at my company and let it run and it turned on and stayed on till i shut my truck off....then driving home after work it never came on. its possessed.

but ya. parts should be here saturday morning and then on to the next fix lol

 

Warm up the engine then do this: Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test

Or purchase a code reader such as the Equus/Inova 3145. As noted previously you are probably getting EGR related codes because the vacuum reservoir is missing.

Getting a head start on some basic tools will save you $money$ later on.

 

Got my canister yesterday. Only have one because those things are $56 a pop plus $30 s&h to this rock.

Next question is....which lines? Red&white or black&red? The can is 3 pronged but the lines have on that's covered so Idk.

Stupid ford messing up everything.

 

There is a great thread on the FullSizedBronco.com forum on replacing vacuum lines. It is specific to the 5.0, but I think most if not all of it applies to our 5.8 engines as well. Based upon that posting you want the red and black connected to the canister.
