Anybody know what this belongs on?

Post by w30bob »

Hi Guys,

Sorry.......not M37 related, but I didn't think you'd take a look in the other sections. Got this at Red Ball with the fording parts I picked up. Seller said I had to take it. I'm guessing it's either a cap for a diesel intake filter, or a snorkel cap for an intake fording tube...........but Googling the part numbers doesn't get me an application or vehicle. All the caps I've seen have a screen over the opening....this one does not. Anybody know what vehicle it's from?

Bob, my search turned up a cross reference to Navistar p/n 102067-R91, which is an air cleaner intake pipe cap. It also crossed to a Diamond-Reo part number, which suggests that it could be for the original M35 series 2-1/2 ton trucks?

Yep its the air inlet cap for a M35A2. Here is a link to a picture of it on the truck.

Bob, now that you have the intake cap, you'll just have to buy an M35A2 to go with it. :lol:

they could be different stamps for a part that does the same thing, but the cap on the truck doesn't quite match the cap in the first pic

That doesn't look like the deuce intake caps that I'm familiar with.
Just my 2 cents,

Hi Guys,

I thought it was M35 too, but it didn't match the ones on the M35's at the show I looked at. They all had inlet caps with a mesh screen underneath to keep out rocks, twigs and small children. This one is totally open underneath, which is why I was thinking it was for a fording snorkel......there isn't too much debris in the air over a river or stream.

As for me needing an M35.........that's probably the LAST thing I need right now. I don't think the ol' "well honey, I had this part already, so I figured I'd just get the rest of it" probably won't go over too well with the girlfriend. But now if one just happens to follow me home............... :mrgreen:

thanks guys,
bob
