What does this hook-up to?



When the truck is running, the little valve this is circled just blows air. I was thinking that it might hook on to something, but I'm not for sure.

Thanks for any insight!

That is part is connected to the air pump. I have one on my '92 150 with a 351 and it is located on the fender well by the battery. And yes it blows air as well. It might be air type of bypass valve.

It's a bypass valve for the egr system, I believe when your truck is idleing it does'nt need all the air from the pump so it bleeds it off, but once your up to cruising speeds it will devert more of the air into your cat to help cool it down so it won't burn up.

Thanks for the replies, ya'll.

I was just making sure that it didn't go to anything...
