After the SAS, I removed my inner fenders. This ball was mounted on the inner fender (not my rig)
I didn't really want to relocate it so I just placed it on top of my coil bucket. This worked fine but one day wheeling my tire grabbed it, pulled the lines off of it, and crunched the ball.
It didn't affect its performance, so I just placed all the lines/hoses out of the way.
Now that winter is here, I find that if I hit a big drift (enough to get the lines/hoses covered in snow), I lose fire on one cylinder. I tucked my head under there, and touched one of the lines, and it shocked me haha. After the snow melts off from the engine heat, the cylinder fires again.
Sooo I guess my question is, what are the lines that attach to this ball and what do they do? If I could, I'd like to just deleted the ball if possible, since it doesn't seem to hinder performace (other than losing a cylinder in wet conditions). No emissions to worry about either.
