My truck has never had the heat riser spring and I can't figure out where exactly it installs. There's freedom of movement on the riser, as turning it with my hand is a snap (I understand these things stick quite regularly).

If anybody has a picture they could post regarding the spring, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm assuming it doesn't install internally, meaning within the exhaust manifold. Thanks in advance for your help!!

There was a little steel rod sticking out of the manifold parallel to the riser shaft. It has most likely rusted away. The outside of the spring hooked on it and the inside of the spring fit in that slot on the shaft.

This belongs in Engine&Drivetrain so look for it there.
