MWO Adds Clamp to Mask
MWO 3-4240-347-20-1 added a retaining
clamp to all M40-series masks’ outlet
valve assemblies. The clamp helps
prevent the valve housing from separating.
NBC NCOs, if your masks haven’t been
modified, contact your local MWO
coordinator or SBCCOM logistics
assistance representative.
M88A2 Transmission Oil
The transmission in your M88A2 recovery
vehicle uses CAT 10 oil, not OE/HDO-10
like the M88A1.
The wrong oil could cause
the transmission to seize up. A quart of
CAT 10 comes with NSN 9150-01-424-7696,
5 gallons with NSN 9150-01-424-7692, and
55 gallons with NSN 9150-01-424-7698. The
transmission holds 17 gallons.
M35A3 CTIS NSNs
Fig 117 of TM 9-2320-386-24P gives you
wrong info on part numbers for Items 11
and 12, the grommet and the nut for the
CTIS valve. Use part number (PN) RG22,
NSN 5325-01-437-5810, for Item 11 and PN
HN80, NSN 5310-01-445-6872, for Item 12.
Make a note until the TM is updated.
M2 Breech Locks
Not all M2 machine gun breech locks need
to be tested for hardness. New breech locks
manufactured by UNI-Star with a CAGE
code of 054Q8 and a contract number of
SP075099MJ178 meet the hardness
requirements called for in TACOM-Rock
Island Safety-of-Use message (SOUM) 99-
03. All other breech locks should be tested
per the SOUM. See your TACOM-Rock
Island logistics assistance representative
for a copy of the SOUM.
FMTV Air Pressure Buzzer
Get the low air pressure buzzer for FMTVs
by using NSN 6350-01-455-9287. It buzzes
to let you know when there’s not enough
air pressure to safely operate the vehicle.
The NSN was not available when TM 9-2320-
365-24P and TM 9-2320-366-24P were
printed. Make a note for Item 7 in Fig 50 of
both TMs ’til the next update.
HEMTT Transmission Filter
Get a replacement transmission oil filter
housing and element for your HEMTTs
with NSN 2910-01-167-2932. Make a note
for Item 4, Fig 158, in TM 9-2320-279-24P-
1 until it’s updated to change the part
number to 25010975.
FMTV Seat Covers
You can get covers for the bottom and
back of FMTV seats without having to
order the entire seat. Get a bottom cover
with NSN 2540-01-460-8048 and a back
cover with NSN 2540-01-463-8394. These
numbers are shown in the Jun 98
editions of your -24Ps.
HMMWV Blackout Light
Item numbers for the HMMWV’s blackout
lamp door and lens retainer are reversed
in Fig 55 of TM 9-2320-280-24P-1. To get
the lamp door, Item 4, order part number
DC8217 (NSN 6220-01-128-0087), which
is shown as Item 2. To get the lens
retainer, order part number DC8218 (NSN
6220-01-107-2613), which is shown as
Item 4.
