A bad pump piston seal will "puff" hydro fluid out of the breather. It will look like little puffs of smoke. Sometimes the 2 hyd lines come loose. If you are standing in the bed, you can reach under the cover plate and feel them they are on the front left of the pump.
No with a bad piston seal you will still have the hand pump. If there is not enough fluid in the reservoir then the hand pump won't work. There is a small dipstick on the pump the reservoir is part of the air hyd pump.
The humvees are very popular in Europe. I have no idea why though. You can pick up a unimog there for half the price or less that you would pay for a bare bones humvee.
Check and make sure all the lines are on and not kinked anywhere. If it's a winch truck and you checked the hyd reservoir, that's not the cab and spare tire one, it's up on top behind the cab black box. The hand pump is the fail safe. It's hard to tell but there is a small line on the dipstick.
Napa sells fuel rated hose? It's not a high pressure line. Take the old end to the supply house most are good at finding you what you need. I have done the hose barb thing for these hoses without issue. I got the idea originally from a truck I had won that the military had done the same thing.
The unloader air "signal" from the governor to the air compressor unloader is the same signal that tells the expello valve to purge. Check and see if there is constant air flow from this line this could cause the compressor not to make proper pressure and also cause the expello valve to stay...
Put a piece of copper pipe in place of the filter and use 2 hose clamps on either side. That should get you running temporarily. The plumbing supply houses usually have a variety of adapters they may have something that will screw on each end with barbs on the other ends and you can just get...
Its just a matter of time before one shows up somewhere it was not supposed to be and the gov will have a cow. Just look at the TX plumbers Toyota truck that ended up in an ISIS convoy on TV.
The main battery cables go from the battery box to the starter. If those were missing I don't see how the truck could have been jump started. Probably just the jumpers that go in between batts are missing. Easy to replace.
Sorry didn't understand the question then. I would do fuel filters first. Some of the fuel lines on one of my trucks have some cracking. It hasn't caused a problem yet and I don't use it much anyways. Once it warms up I was going to swap them. The rack is controlled by a linkage to the governor...
