Hi!

Started my PS 7,3 L whiteout radiator. Just want to see if run.
This part was under the truck.
What is it.....?

The only thing that's not connected is radiator. 🤷

hmm

Whatever it is, I'd keep it in the truck with you lol

That's either a HUGE needle bearing or someone's got VERY tiny hands.

Can it be anything to the termostate?

Had a Chevy in your driveway lately?

The end closest looks like a recent clean break. May have had a "c" clip there. May be the end of a shaft, possibly A/C or heater door control. Is it about 3/16 x 3/4 inch? Got any neighbors that hate you or have rotten kids?

Ya, hard to tell from the image if the break happened by twist or pull, maybe a clue as to how it was used (or abused).
