Can someone help me identify this part?

[bilzy7]

This is on the rear drivers side, you can see drivers side shock close to it. The mount is rusted almost completely off and im trying to identify what it is so i can get a new mount for it.

Thank you for any help. I cant find out what this is anywhere.

Wow can def tell where you live , You only need the carbon canister if you have emission testing on a regular basis

This is the only site I've seen brackets for vapor canister. No pics, makes me wonder if its right part.

Ok so info for any who search in the future, your best bet is to fab a bracket, or pay $142.00-$200.00 for the bracket.

Agree, long zip ties are all you need to secure a light ABS canister.
Make sure the hoses are connected properly, otherwise you'll get a CEL.

Jeez, on the 98 ? These chemicals they use on the roads now-em-days are an auto manufacturer's best friend. So sick of rust and and how it destroys our cars.

just on board air, I still need a compressor to finish it. but I don't have the money right now.

 

[white_shadow]

why an on board air tank?

 

[SouthernSAR]

That's a pretty sick place for an OBA tank...

 

[lounge lizard]

well
I want on board air to run my air horns, have access for tire inflation on the trails and I have air shocks in the rear of my truck, but I would like to put air suspension in when I do my spring over axle and my solid front axle conversion
