2002 HmMWV DEEEEP fording ? PICS

[rolling18]

my recent buy has (or had) fording kit..

mainly wondering how do check what thiis and how to use, clean, maintain it? .....looks like has a sight glass?
looks to be part of the fording system..
the fording dash valve tall exhaust stack had been removed, as well as other lines cut that I can see under the hood..

also is a cut hose that looks like is was very weak... and seperated but doesnt leak anything?
thanks for any help (i have been using search as well)

The CDR valve is missing, be CAREFUL, one of those openings leads directly into the intake, one little washer, screw, nut etc and you will be buying a new engine.

Be glad they didn’t use a chain saw to remove the fording valve. All the pieces they removed are readily available.

Google it and lots of stuff will come up. I found a complete set of instructions with pics and everything.

The black kettle looking thing by the firewall with the sight glass on it is your power steering reservoir. Power steering pump does a bunch of jobs on the HMMWV, it also powers your brakes and the fan clutch so make sure it's topped off and functional. It uses dextron 3 (basically ATF) not power steering fluid.

You're also missing the cdr valve. Order one immediately

As you can see red in the sight glass the level is OK, of course this also needs to be drained and refilled along with the rest of the fluids

Finally took some pix of my "new" rig...

some good news on the "fording kit"
during a deep cleaning in the rear seat wells I found the;
.. Broken control valve,
--- water "sensor bucket thing
--- CDV both with huge hacksaw / grinder cuts across them!
why would anyone try to remove these kits anyway???
luckily they cut the tubes to the control lever where I could probably restore them when i get the new controller and CDV

also found battery hold down bracket, thick rubber pad with 2 offset holes about 8in x 2 in

[Maxjeep1]

I don’t like the battery compartment. I see wires

first thing I did was take the troop seats off and added a c-pillar. I have the troop carrier top and hoops but I don’t have a use for it. Might be nice if you were building a truck for camping

I do want to put an airlift rear bumper as a priority, so I can add a reciever hitch so I tan tow shit...

I hate the bumper… I like the clearance of the stripped down version.
C-pillar is for the 4 man conversion

I’m sure you have many options without adding a air lift bumper. I have a m1123 and a m1165 and bumper hangs down so far and I think it’s only good for mounting a license plate

No need for bumpers Indeed!

Both of my humvees don't have bumpers and my plan is to unbolt the military hitch on one of them (probably the m1123) and adapt a square universal receiver so different hitch balls and accessories can be used there.

I have adapted a military hitch on a universal kit so that I can use my old military trailer even with my Tesla
