What is this thing?
For sometime now there has been this pump like thing under my hood that I never paid much attention to until now. I was replacing my blown headgasket and started to wonder what its hooked up to and if I need it or not. Its on a 86 chevy truck, I unhooked the computer and got rid of the the smog stuff, I think this may have something to do with the smog but I wanted to make sure before I tore it out.
Its the circled thing, Its kinda like a pump of some sort, Its soft and rubbery on one side and I can push it in and it slowly pops back into shape. Brad

Thanks guys I completly forgot that the truck had cruise control at one time. It stopped working a long time ago and I was gonna replace it with an aftermarket cruise control sometime. Do you think I should just take it out or will it be needed for the aftermarket cruise control? Thanks again
Brad
