Need help identifying part to replace
Hey guys, been a while. Been back in the F150 game for the last couple years now (just been quiet). Long story short, my current truck I bought used a few years ago, still have low mileage, got a great deal on it, love it, but like my last Ford, it definitely has its occasional quirks.
-2016 3.5L Ecoboost-
I discovered this particular issue when I bought the truck and found it broken, covered in JB Weld. I was so thrilled about that. Did what I could and made it work on a very tight budget, using apparently good superglue (lasted a couple years) and zip ties. Well, it finally gave out and I’m back to square one. I finally am no longer pinching penny’s quite as much and want to actually replace this thing.
My only problem is, I have no idea what this is called or where to find the part. Anyone able to identify this? Didn’t figure I needed to circle the pics for anyone. The zip ties and atrociousness should lead one straight to the part.

I do appreciate the part being identified though, sir. Thank you very much. Looks like I will be purchasing that piece here soon.

I wish I could tell you. I can try to get a couple pics in the morning for you. I am not familiar with much in regards to these smaller engines with turbos. But it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. Glad I didn’t. But I could probably tell you more if it was my old 5.4 or the 5.0. Anyhow. I’ll see what I can get for you in the morning.

Wow. Copy that. That seems like a terrible design by Ford, given my issue and seeing how it could easily be broken off (although I didn’t break it and not sure how it was originally broken). Oh well. That’s just rather frustrating.
