What is that thing in the middle of the LIM with 6mm Coolant line going to it and smaller line come out of it, it got kindda goldish color and the coolant line come from the reservior from the passenger side fire wall. And what do I do with it now???

Resevoir on passenger side firewall?? Sounds like the cold start assist system to me! Ditch it completely, remove the resevoir and coolant line, and plug tha vac hosem ir get rid of the solnoid on the rack altogether.

ok, so it's the cold start sistem the very same sistem that i get rid from the UIM when i did my TB mod??
so it's ok to just get rid of them and then Cap off the vac nipple..from that thing @ the LIM right???
and what solenoid that i need to ditch????
*** It look like a reservior to me and it also said
" COOLANT ONLY!!" but i think it is the cold start assist system..thanks..

It seldom gets referred to by its correct name, which is Sub-Zero Start Assist System. It doesn't even activate until the oil temp drops below 3degF.
