What drivetrain component links the transfer case to the front and rear differentials?
The propeller shafts, also called driveshafts, link the transfer case to the front and rear differentials.
What tool is used to release the armored door combat lock from outside?
The combat lock can be released by a lever from inside the vehicle. However, from the outside, a unique combat lock emergency release wrench is required.
What component of the afes detects smoke or heat?
Automatic Fire Extinguishing System (AFES) AFES is supplied as a retrofit kit composed of fire sensors and extinguishers that react in milliseconds to automatically detect heat or light and then suppress explosive fires.
Does a front wheel drive have a differential?
With front-wheel-drive (FWD), the differential is alongside the transmission inside a housing, and the unit is called a transaxle. With rear-wheel-drive (RWD), the differential is between the rear wheels, connected to the transmission by a driveshaft.
How long must you wait before attempting to start the engine again?
make sure not to crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Current going through the armature may overheat parts, damage internal components and ruin the starter. Crank the engine 5 to 7 seconds at a time and let the starter cool down for a few seconds after three or four tries.
What actions should you take if your vehicle starts to skid on wet pavement?
If you start to skid:
- Ease off the accelerator (gas) pedal.
- Stop braking.
- Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
What coolant temperature indicates that your HMMWV is overheating?
What coolant temperature indicates that your Hmmwv is overheating? The following are indications that the engine is overheating: -The engine coolant temperature is more than 250 degrees F for the ECV (230 degrees F for the M1123).
When starting out under normal conditions in what position should you place the transmission?
While preparing to drive a HMMWV forward under normal conditions, in what position should you place the transmission and transfer case shift levers? Slow down prior to reaching the curve.
How does a transfer case work in a 4 wheel drive vehicle?
Transfer cases are found specifically on 4-wheel drive (4×4) vehicles like trucks and SUVs. They work in unison with the transmission and the front and rear differentials. A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels.
Which is front wheel drive or rear differential?
A front-wheel drive vehicle will have a front differential. A rear-wheel drive vehicle will have a rear differential. An all-wheel-drive or 4×4 vehicle will have both front and rear differentials. What is a Transfer Case? Transfer cases are found specifically on 4-wheel drive (4×4) vehicles like trucks and SUVs.
How does a differential work with a transmission?
Axles, differentials, transfer cases, U-joints (universal joints), CV joints (constant-velocity joints) and other important components work directly in conjunction with the transmission system to keep your vehicle moving forward with desired speed and handling. What is a Differential?
Why do you need a transfer case for a differential?
A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels. If the transfer case or either differential isn’t working properly, you won’t get proper performance out of your 4WD system. Differential and Transfer Case Repair & Maintenance
