Screw on cap / plug connection in front of shifter on M998

[RichDane]

I looked for a "Silly Question" category in this forum but couldn't find it.

Question: Is the screw on cap and electrical connection which it covers, in front of the Shifter, for a radio connection or some sort of diagnostic plug in, or something else???

Thanks,

Richdane

Most "silly questions" can be answered either in the Technical Manuals or with a quick search.

diagnostic plug

Thank you 86humv ...just never actually never really knew the purpose, and I actually did try to search that subject doghead, but more than likely, I just wasn't using the correct terminology to find the topic anywhere.

It is shown in the very beginning of the -10TM(basic operators manual).

Easily identified in a picture, then described in text.

It's worth looking at.

Fuel pressure, cranking amps, RPMs.

Simplified Test Equipment/ Internal Combustion Engines

STE/ICE

It's kinda like an OBD system.(military specific)

This too, is explained in the basic operators manual.

RTFM? Are you people crazy?

RTFM? Read The Factory Manual.

RTMF? Read The Manual First.

Either way, It holds the answers, LOL.
