Hi, any instructions/illustrations for the installation of the fording kit for the M-38?
90% of the installation is pretty straight forward except on how exactly the tube support by the windscreen is attached to the jeep, and there are also a couple small brackets I don't know where they go.
Any help out there?????
Thnx

I don't want to look like an idiot ... but I just clicked through 217 photos and didn't see the fording stuff. Is there a "how it works" explanation somewhere? Because I'm still lost as to what it actually does when you pull out that magic lever

I found that album about an hour after I posted, but still confused as to what pulling the fording knob on the dash takes care of. I know it closes a valve off in the intake tubing after the air cleaner, and there's a separate cable connected to something else. I'm lost as to what the valve in the intake does and what the other part of the fording lever does. I just don't get the mechanism of it all just yet.
Simply put, the pulling of the fording knob closes both fording valves (one at the intake adjacent to the PCV valve and one at the crossover pipe). This action causes the engine crankcase and later M38's the bell housing/tranny/transfer to pressurize to about a 2 PSI differential. This prevents the ingestion of water. _________________ Wes K
