Dear Half-Mast,

My HMMWV's air cleaner filter element, NSN 2940-01-188-3776, shows up in FED LOG as a terminal item. What's the replacement?

Dear Sergeant A.R.,

Breathe easy. The old, separate hex nut-type air filter, NSN 2940-01-188-3776, has been replaced with the improved caged wing nut with filter design, NSN 2940-01-548-1183. This new design makes removal and installation easier by hand--without tools.
