Post in engine bay 720

Recommended Posts

Got my truck from the shop today. They adjusted the timing and carb. Seems to not stutter or get a total loss of power anymore...

 

Any ways since I bought this truck I have looked at this alloy post in the engine bay and wondered what purpose it serves. Its not attached to anything on the under side of the fender. Its not attached on top to anything besides 3 nuts holding it down. Ive read through my Haynes bible and scoured the forums and google images to find another image or something on this alien technology. I give up. Forgive me if this is one of those "Psh everyone knows what that is..."

OK, time to think of things owners bolt on under the hood.

 

1/ Alarm systems.

 

2/ .....???

The alarm actually..The top of the post is a hex shape but it almost resembles a ball joint. maybe a mounting point for the speaker? But thats a stretch and that would be a pretty elaborate siren mount.  Other than that cant think of anything else. Assuming its not stock and it is not visually needed for anything... out it comes.

Is there anything similar on the driverside? 

 

Does anything on the hood line up with it? 

 

Maybe it's a universal hood prop kit of some sort. 

Nope nothing on the opposite side. And the underside of the hood is clear. I thought maybe someone had a torque damper in there but usually those are on the other side.
