does anyone know what that big spring is for that is hanging down on the inside drivers side firewall to the left of the steering column? Mine is just hanging there not hooked to anything???

If it is a manual trans that would be the clutch pedal return spring. If it is an auto it might be the brake pedal return spring. If it has been converted from manual to auto trans you probably don't need it.

I've heard of muffler bearings and piston return springs but never the muffler return spring!

In seriousness though, what year? Maybe it's the park brake return spring.

**undertaker72** · 07-01-2014, 09:02 PM

could it possibly be a old hood spring , might have poped of at some time and the hinge replaced some people are to lazy to fish out old stuff

Mr.Hyde · 07-01-2014, 11:23 PM

Pictures?

schpeen · 07-01-2014, 11:28 PM

I'm thinking maybe the truck was born with a stick
The pic is turned counter clockwise 1/4 turn

The springer show does serve a purpose though. No matter how crappy your day has been, watching 5 minutes of the Jerry Springer will be sure to make you feel better about yourself.

Much like how fb manipulated newsfeeds to adjust your attitude. Sunlight vitamin d helps morale better.

It doesn't look quite heavy enough for a clutch pedal spring. I'm thinking brake pedal.... I will have to check mine.

C10_ustacould · 07-01-2014, 11:38 PM

Clutch pedal return spring.

schpeen · 07-01-2014, 11:43 PM

I assumed because I have the low hump trans like the automatics came with it was born with an auto. I know I read somewhere here VIN ID CHART. I need to get the vin and check it out now that I'm curious

**Stocker** · 07-02-2014, 12:20 AM

That's where my brake pedal return spring is attached, but my spring appears to be much stouter than the one in your pic.

**special-K** · 07-02-2014, 06:13 AM

Maybe that's what a previous owner used to replace the original return spring? A 3spd manual would have the low hump. Ok,that's it,gotta go.That's enough drama for me

I'm not sure if the drama comment is directed at me, but it was just a joke. No drama intended. My apologies.

Pretty sure Tim was just making a general Jerry Springer (drama) comment -- not directed at anyone here.

BINGO! Just funnin' with the title.I agree the show serves a positive purpose to society. It gives us a low marker to gauge our behavior by. No one wants to be comparable to anyone on Springer. So,when we if we find ourselves starting to behave in any way comparable we know something's got to change.

Brake return spring is blue, but doesn't go to the firewall. Maybe someone connected it there instead of the brake box assembly? Hard to say for sure, but the spring actually looks too light to be the brake return spring. And I think that'd certainly rule it out as the clutch spring if that's the case.
