What is this and what should it be connected to?

I circled the thingy at the bottom (drivers side top of engine by firewall). What is it? There is a small hose that runs to the other side near the air intake, but the hose isn't connected to anything.

That is the nitrous cylinder for your diesel nitrous injection system. Need to hook it back up to the air cleaner to work.

JK, it’s the power steering reservoir

Very funny You had me going, for like a second! I figured it was something like that-nitrous, a flux-capacitor, or a mouse treadmill.

So the small hose that comes off the power steering reservoir running over near the air intake, what does it connect to?

IIRC there should be a tee in the vent line going to the air filter housing that that hose connects to

I believe all of those hoses are part of the fording system.
Is there a fording valve below the dash and behind the E brake lever?
If no valve is there a hole located there ?

no fording valve below the dash and behind e-brake lever. I find the power steering system in the technical manuals, showing hoses, but none show the small hose (1/8"ID) over towards the air intake/filter.

there should be a small hose that goes from the dash to the air filter area for the air filter restriction gauge in the dash.

Thanks, Coug. The hose I'm referring to originates/comes out of the top of the power steering reservoir.
