ok so its been a while since ive posted anything. mainly due to finical reasons. however, a few years back i had a guy put a new engine in my truck. the only reason i didnt do it myself is because i didnt have the time nor the space to do it. in hindsight i should have waited to do it myself. anyways, the guy used the intake manifold from a 97+ 5.9 and i needed a 96 or older. he jerry rigged a bunch of the vacuum lines so they would work. i just put the right manifold on (also engine coolant temp sensors) and i want to re do all of my vacuum lines. the only thing is im starting from scratch and dont know what size tubes, fittings, check valves, where to put them and where they go. any help would be great. oh yeah 95 ram 5.9 v8 2500, auto trans, 4x4, spicer 44 front, chrysler 9.25 rear if you need any more info let me know

also: im deleting the egr. and for some reason i dont have the evap solenoid so ill get that from a local salvage yard.

 

Grab the field service manual from this forum. Start from there.

 

What the heck is this. Passenger side of engine bay. Has three vacuum lines going to it, but other than that I'm lost. Vacuum lines wernt hooked to anything. I've only seen it on my truck.... No other

 

Looks like a can with hoses attached to it.

With that out of the way: My bestest guess is that some previous blowner was trying to fix a wild vents problem by adding an additional vacuum reservoir. Whatever the reason for it, you don't need the thing.

 

Sweet, I'll chunk it.

 

Probably a fart catcher. Check for a hose coming from the driver's seat. I know on road trips, if I have Corn Nuts and Pretzels I get pretty gassy going across bumpy South Dakota.
