bad suppressor?

[GentleGiant]

Hello All,

Looking around the electrical system to better understand it, I found what looks like a bad suppressor. Its a little connector between the positive and negative terminal junction blocks. Here's a pic or two:



My questions are:

1) Is that a good idea to replace that little suppressor?
2) What do I call it when I ask NAPA for a new one?
3) out of curiosity, what is its function?

Thanks much,
GentleGiant

From another thread ; The suppressors are for electrical noise suppression, it is just a capacitor. If you are not running radios they are not needed. the truck will work just fine without it.

Agreed, no need to do anything, you are not running suppresion requirement kit. Leave them or remove them, no difference.

When you get around to cleaning up those buss bars, just remove it. It's not needed at all.

Thank you to all responders.

I have removed the suppressor and I appreciate the prompt and clear information from you all. Again, this forum impresses me.

Sincerely,
GentleGiant

I hope you have the white fiberglass covers for your buss bar.

Hello CUCVRUS,

I do have those covers, and they are re-installed now. Thanks for your concern.
