My truck was a Marine truck that was re-engined to a 6.5L in 2002. It was originally equipped with the fording kit.
It seems that during the reset, the kit was removed or bastardized. The most obvious differences are the short intake and exhaust stacks. These should obviously be the tall versions.
I discovered that the fording valve is still installed in the cab. Yesterday, I figured out that I still have the power steering cap vent line.
This morning, I was going over the parts list in the TM and it seems that I still have the fording dip sticks for the oil and transmission fluid levels.
I'm a bit confused on the "sensor cup" and "vent valve", items 12 and 18 in Figure 399. Where are these mounted?
Next, does the vent line on the hydroboost go back to the system of hoses and "T" fittings in Figure 399?
Lastly, does the fording system not pressurize the transmission or transfer case? Or is this done via the power steering system?
Really lastly, is there a way that I can test the system? Should I feel some positive pressure at the P/S cap vent line if I flip the lever in the cab?
If I have enough of the pieces, I will buy or fabricate the missing components and restore the system. If I'm missing too much, I'll just skip it.
