I'm still getting codes 552 and 565 in the KOEO test

Code 311 in the KOER test

No real change in the codes from before

Did you clear the codes? Are these valves present and functioning

on the back of your engine? I got this picture from another forum. I'm no expert on this stuff, but I've been reading everything I can on it, because I'm putting my truck exhaust system back to the stock configuration.

I'll check the back for those parts. The truck is stock so I'm thinking they are intact. Whats the best way to make sure all codes are cleared?

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

The F250/350's had what Soup bean posted, but the F150/bronco's, had separate, Tab, Tad valves, see picture

I'll jump back on it tomorrow and check everything posted. I need to take a good look at vacuum lines as well. Some are buried in harness tubing and tape. I disconnected the battery and will hook back up in the morning to clear the codes. I had a new Granddaughter born yesterday so have to take care of the Grandson tonight while Mom and Dad are recovering.

Thanks to both of you so far!

I thought it was model year that determined whether they had separate valves or a combination valve. Here's a 1995 F150 5.0 with a combination valve, from another forum. (Ignore the white markings, they were part of the post asking a question) But either way, I would investigate the valves to see if they're functioning.

I left the battery disconnected all night. Same codes, no change. Going to start tracing vacuum lines more closely. How do I check those valves for proper function?

I would go back to the link in post 6 of this thread. The diverter valve on my '88 is in a really tough spot to get to.
