Vacuum Source?

Where is a good vacuum source on the 5.4L? I need to check if my cats are clogged.

TIA,
MJ

I don't know if you have 4wd....

If you don't there should be a 1/8"-3/16" hose with a plug in the end kind of dangling or maybe laying on the motor right in front of where the 'puter is parked on the firewall (That should be a hose with vacuum).

Also... Iirc- the emission warranty lasts till 80K miles.... so if you haven't passed that up you could get a (new) dealer to fork out for it.

Yes, I have a 4wd FX4. I'll take a look. I just hit 90k too so that doesnt look good.

Thanks!
