Spent the morning removing the batteries for the fuel filter upgrade, vacuuming and cleaning out the top of the intake manifold and the space between the radiator and the grille that had accumulated a lot of squirrel nuts and bird nest junk from it's hibernation at my former location. Must've been 20 pounds of pine needles and leaves jammed in there. The radiator should breathe better now.
Found these two loose connections, one looks like a vacuum line not connected to anything, center rear of the engine. Other is a wiring connection driver's side against the firewall. Anyone know off the top of their heads what they need to be connected to?
Also scraped off the front bumper markings, I'll need to get some stencils now. There are some other obliterated markings underneath them, but the last owners were:
101 ABN 101 AVN BN HQ10
First block is 101st Airborne. Last block of letters is a little confusing, as there is a 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, not a Battalion, so not sure the discrepancy. Headquarters truck #10. The unit structure I only see the current organization, so maybe someone familiar with the 101st structure from the 1990s when this truck was last in service, if you can chime in I appreciate it.
