air emission tubes ?
#17
Here's a pic view from what would be the rear of the truck.
That rusty tube you see just below the concrete block is the tube that runs from head to head on regular F series trucks. I guess your HD would be slightly different, with tubes or hoses runnung to the exhaust manifold(s) instead.
The two tubes at the bottom would run to your cats.

Holy cow what a clusterf*** this is, and here I thought the mess in passenger cars was bad! Then I guess it still beats the dual air pump setup some of the HD trucks got...
Actually it should be right before the cat, or directly in the side of the cat in the front part of it. Have no pic tho, I got a diesel and there ain't no cats on those.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if it doesn't perform a useful function, it can hit the *****can. Unless you need it for emissions compliance, or at least the appearance of emissions compliance. Just more parts to fail and need repair, more engine bay clutter, for minimal, if any, benefit. The air pump can be eliminated with a simple pulley and bracket (about $50 on Summit) and the whole mess can be tossed.
I know Conanski disagrees and seems to feel that you should leave all the original equiptment in place, whether functioning or not.
Just my opinion. You'll have to decide for yourself, I guess.

i just want to leave it all there in case i don't pass emissions, then i slap it back on. I live in Connecticut and we have lame emissions standards. The reason I am not hooking it up is cause I need two new air tubes and can't find them anywhere, even napa couldn't get them and I can't figure out on Rock Auto which ones I need
