Default stupid question?
I was under my truck yesterday ('05 5.4 scab) looking at my FPDM and saw something I don't recognize. In the general area between where the fpdm and the fuel tank thee is a cylinrical unit, about 2' long and about 4" dia. mounted under the frame crossways to the truck. Does anyone know what that is?

Not a spare tire hoist, this has wires running to it, 2 ft long, about 4 in. diameter, behind the fuel tank.
