So I switched the junk "Rancho" front shocks out this morning to some Rancho 9000xls. As part of the process, a sensor or some component is attached by way of a cap to the front left shock post and must be popped off. Unattaching it was the hardest part of the install. Pictures are attached. The part just hangs out up in the engine bay (or at least mine does?).
Part. No. on the tag is HC34-3B476-AA. Any ideas what this is? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the off road angle sensors? I do have the FX4 model.
I will crawl under tonight to try and trace the line back to the other end. Most diff vent tubes I have seen in the past have a little breather type element at the end of the tube to permit venting and not a solid plug like this tube has.
I think a bearing finally failed, that was causing the output shaft to wobble, destroying the seal. The last time I took it on the oil in the bottom of the truck was laden in metal. I thought it was e engine oil from a leaking oil filter but there is no way to get oil back there without getting it on everything else. And everything else was dry.
