Found in truck

Aug 06, 2003 6 Replies

I found a black metal tool under the back seat of my truck. It is 1 inch wide 9.25 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick heavy steel. On one end is a



1/2 inch socket adapter with ball, and on the other is a torx-drive hole slightly smaller. What the heck is this for? Does it go to my F350?

Truck didn't come with owner's manual... shop manual is on order.



Thanks, Dan


serpentine belt tensioner tool ?

That's what it sounds like to me too... Later... Grant Speed Kills...Drive a Honda, live forever...

Could be crank/handle for jack. Or previous owner left it...

I think it is the tool that lowers the spare tire from its storage position. Look by your rear license plate for a hole in the bumper. There should be a Torx socket in the hole.

On mine, (2000 F250) the torx tool attaches to the jack handle for better leverage.
