Anyone know where to get the rubber cap/plug for the air filter housing? Part number or something that would fit. I’ve been to home depot but all the rubber pipe caps that are 3inch are actually 3.5 inner diamete.
Thanks for the info. I’m returning the non fording one. Do you know what hooks up to the air housing unit? There are two spots that appear to need hoses going to it. There is a hose adapter near the intake stack and one on the back side of the air filter housing unit next to the intake.
Thanks,
So I bought a CDR valve that matched the one that was crushed up in the bed of the truck. My question is the one I bought and the one that was crushed don’t appear to have a deep water fording nipple on top? I have a 2007 M1152A1 6.5 turbo. I did notice that the turbo model CDR valve feeds into...
Thanks for the reply’s. It is a USMC truck. I have the black cup, but they cut it up. I was wondering where that would mount to. As for the green wire it looks to be a grounding wire. I’ll have to keep looking for where it might have gone to. It is an M1152A1 so who knows what they were running...
I am looking to identify a loose hose near the front differential. I traced it back to where the air filter housing is, but I’m not sure what it hooks up to down near the front diff. In addition I found a green wire that is cut. Not sure if anyone can help me figure out where theses things go...
Won’t be disconnecting the battery again while running. I’ll take a look at Springers post and try to figure out what might be wrong. Thanks for the great info.
I have been looking at diffrent things on my M1152A1 and noticed that the voltage meter stays in the yellow. In addition I unhook the battery the truck shuts off. It has the 200amp alternator. Is there anything I should check? Or bad connection?. And is this something that I could rebuild?
Thanks,
That was the question. Do you need to have batteries in the vehicle (dead ones) to even use the slave cable jump pack. It would seem that they have batteries in it to prevent the + and - cables just dangling in the battery compartment. In addition, dead ones or not. They ain’t there. There are...
The ironclad insurance that’s on Govplanet for discrepancies. For example batteries required to start with slave cable jump pack. The description bellow is very miss leading. A vehicle would never restart without batteries. So anyone would assume that it would not start because batteries are not...
I have another question. Can you start a Hmmwv with no batteries and have a slave cable jump pack as they did on govplanet. Or do you need to have batteries in then put the jump pack slave cable deal. Just wondering if I should make a claim?
Update
Got the truck the other day. No batteries. I did borrow some to get it off the trailer and into my driveway. Any suggestions on what batteries to put in. Leaning towards the cheaper options.
No pictures of batteries. I did observe that they had the seat still installed with a jump pack and slave cable to start it. So moral of the story is dead batteries plus jump parks attached and left attached to start will equal some electrical problem. Or is it just bad for the batteries...
Not to beat a dead horse, but i really don't want to fry anything on the vehicle. So this is what i was planning. The Vehicle will be dropped of at my house on Sunday. The driver states that it was loaded with a forklift in Yermo and he was asking where the keys were. haha so not the most...
Is it possible to jump a Hmmwv with a jump pack or packs? Have a vehicle being dropped off at my house and I'm assuming that it's going to be dead. If there is a way, detailed directions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat
