1097A2 help needed

That is a noise suppression capacitor # 12469147....here's one still mounted on trans sensor bracket...I have spares.

Man, i could use about 2 dozen of those on my rig... Do you have the decibel reduction rating for those ? Quiet it down a bit

There might be 2 on a Late Hmmwv....one on trans wires...I think other at horn wires.
I have used takeoffs.

The TM lists the one on the trans as ..
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Capacitor Assembly

That piece is a large diode of sorts on later model truck, it’s held on via a p-clamp on the TOSS bracket.
It’s not needed, never could get a an answer of what its purpose is.
Your issue is most likely fuel relate, have you:
1. check your fuel pump by opening the water separator?
2.changed fuel filter and inspected for algae?
3. checked fuel tank for algae?
4. removed fuel line feed and return check valves?

I took your suggestion and looked at the fuel system. Right on target!! Two issues causing the problem. Fuel filter canister needed to cleared and filter changed. Also the fuel lines needed to be replaced - brittle and blockage. Runs like it should once again. Thanks

I am a little curious how you zeroed in on the transmission? POWER is the engines responsibility, TRANSFER of power is the transmissions responsibility.
I cannot think of a situation that would cause the transmission to consume the power from the engine unless something horrific is going on inside, The transmission can slip, it can also be in limp mode and not shifting correctly, but a loss of power suggests the engine has issues.

Fuel blockage issue. Back to normal. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Glad you got it going!

Yep, sounds like fuel for sure as Coug said it could be a fuel pump, or a restricted fuel system.
If you are getting good pressure to the fuel filter water tap then it could be a plugged return check valve in the IP, that will also cause a loss of power but you should confirm good flow to the IP before worrying about the return.

sure was a fuel problem. Two issues causing the problem. Fuel filter canister needed to cleared and filter changed. Also the fuel lines needed to be replaced - brittle and blockage. Runs like it should once again. Thanks for the help

I'm curious. You stated that the fuel filter was changed in August of this year. Do you have dirt inside of your fuel tank or do you think all of the blockage came from the fuel lines? If so, that's some pretty nasty fuel lines.
