I recently sold my 03 and recently bought an 06 ram 2500 quad cab long bed 4x4 Cummings. When I was underneath the truck I found a small hose from the top of fuel tank near front of the tank. it is about 1/4" ID x 12" long. It is not hooked to anything. It does not suck or blow anything I can notice. Last night I looked under my buddies 06 and it has the same hose to nowhere.

What the heck is this hose for?

 

roll over valve vent line

 

I know a lot of these trucks had the vents on top of the tank wide open. dirt and water could get in, so lots of people put in some hose and a tee fitting so that wouldn't happen. when I did mine, i clipped it up high, perhaps this one done on yours and fell down.

 

You can kind of see what I did to mine here... I put hoses on my vents, and ran an inline filter into the frame...

 

Mark did you buy stock in JB weld

 

i guess you do what ya have to do.lol

 

Heck, no man. That's not JB, that is 8808, a killer 2 part epoxy that we use on... well, never mind. It's very carcinogenic, let me tell you what!

Those are the two air dog draw straw mistakes I made... I riveted some aluminum plating and some solid rubber mat over and under the holes, then used that 8808 to seal over it.

 

i know exactly what it is. it is pretty nasty stuff

 

Where's the "G" police?

 

Huh?

 

I think this is what he's talking about...

Ford owns them 'ya know.

 

not to be asking a silly question but what is 8808 and whats the full name or where to buy it if it is so good? I can always use some good epoxy to fix some of my mess ups

 

that is another funny thing i love going to car lots and they call these trucks cummings ha.

 

It is military issue... gotta have a license to use it.

Shoot me a PM
