I suspect this devil may be a vacuum leak that’s causing me to stall!

 

The name of the part is “vacuum tube connector”.

 

Vacuum lines don't need clamps - the atmosphere keeps them pressed against their nipples. Those are coolant lines, bringing hot coolant to the PCV valve (that's the name of the part) to keep the goo fluid enough not to gum it up.

 

it’s connected to the pcv by a hose but it’s actually not a pcv. ford dealer has it listed as a “vacuum tube connector”BAM

 

Yeah, good luck with that.

 

What does the black tube that is part of the 3 combined tubes lead to? Mine is cut and I don't see where it went. Here is a picture...

 

Hard to say with so little info about the truck, the engine, its history, how it's running, or what prompted you to look at this. Put ALL the truck's details into your signature as this page explains:

And the pic is too close-up. Back off & post a few more showing what's around that area within reach of that tube.
