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

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.

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.

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.

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.
