rain cap

Post by Cav Trooper »

I am looking for a rain cap for the fording kit intake pipe.

Thanks,

They didn't have one. The exhaust extension also did not have a flapper. You can certainly put them on, but you won't find any "originals".

I have a copy of the original Bill of Materials (it looks like a drawing). I can scan it and email it to you if you are interested. There is not much to it.

Tractor supply has the rain caps.
Point it away from the truck or you will have little black spots from the exhaust
all over the truck.
I put a thin washer in the bottom bolt so that the condensation from the exhaust
would drain out and not be blown up the stack and on to the truck.

Thanks, I'm looking for the intake rain cap, I know they were not issue but, I've seen them on other M37's and would like to find one. I don't need one for the exhaust.

I used a M38A1 air cleaner pre filter on mine. It's a little bigger ID. so just wrap a strip of rubber around the top of the pipe and use a hose clamp or whatever to secure it.
