t’s a little thing, drivers and mechanics, but if the air cleaner weather cap on
your HMMWV is pushed down too far, snow and ice that accumulates around
the cap will cut off the airflow through the cap to the engine.
Check the weather cap to see how high it
sits above the air intake duct. If the cap is
right down on the duct, grasp it with both
hands and pull it up.
Leave about two inches between the duct
and the bottom of the cap. That’ll keep the
air flowing. In heavy snow, of course, you’ll
need to remove the stuff as it piles up to
prevent ice from forming in the filter.

Save Slave Cover
W
hen temperatures drop, the plastic cover on your
vehicle’s slave receptacle starts to shrink. That shrink-
age makes the cover stick like glue to the receptacle.
A screwdriver will pry it off, but that often breaks
the cover.
Make sure it doesn’t stick in the first place by add-
ing a thin layer of waterless hand cleaner, NSN 8520-
00-965-2109, to the inside of the cover. That’ll keep it
slick enough to let the cap come off easily in any
weather.
