Maintenance Management…
Getting Maintenance Data Right!
Getting Maintenance Data Right!
I
f you prepare and submit mainte-
nance requests—DA Form 2407,
DA Form 5990-E (ULLS) or PCN
AHN-018 (SAMS)—then you must
make sure the info is accurate. It
goes into the logistics integrated data
base (LIDB) at the USAMC
Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA)
where it’s used by senior Army lead-
ers to make decisions about your
unit’s funding and manpower.
So don’t use “best guess” data and
don’t submit work orders with miss-
ing information just because you’re
in a hurry. If you do, you put your
unit’s authorized maintenance dollars
and manpower at risk.
❏
Complete as many fields as you can,
including optional fields.
❏
Verify your unit identification code
(UIC) and the UIC for your support.
❏
Double-check the weapon system
NSN, LIN and EIC.
❏
Submit work order reports to direct
support (DS/GS) on time—at least weekly.
❏
Make sure DS/GS parts usage data is
right—quantities must be correct.
❏
Make sure DS/GS man-hours and
MOS’s are right for the work done.
❏
Make sure DS/GS uses correct status
codes and times when posting.
Instead, use the following checklist and
avoid the risk:
make sure
the data you
put on us is
accurate!

Kiowa Engine Flush Can
NSN 3740-00-641-4719 gets you the engine
flush can for the OH-58D T703-AD-700-series
engine. The NSN listed for Item 41 on Page B-
13 of TM 55-2840-256-23 is wrong.
Transfer for M35A3
If you need a new transfer for an M35A3
truck, order the transfer for the M35A2, NSN
2520-00-089-8287. You must remove the
yoke and dirt deflector from the old M35A3
transfer and reinstall them on the replace-
ment. Eyeball Fig 95 in TM 9-2320-386-24P to
identify the yoke and deflector. The M35A2
yoke won’t work on the M35A3 and the dirt
deflector is a new part on A3 models.
MLRS Roadwheel Nuts
Use NSN 5310-00-982-6809 to order new
roadwheel nuts for your MLRS. The nuts,
NSN 5310-00-241-6664, that are listed as Item
5 in Fig 9 of TM 9-1450-646-24P are track
pad nuts.
Need Logbook Folders?
Logbooks getting ragged? NSN 7510-01-065-
0166 gets the equipment record folder that
goes with the equipment at dispatch. NSN
7510-00-889-3494 gets the 3-ring binder-size
logbook that is used to maintain historical
records on a vehicle or piece of equipment.
Both are listed in DA Pam 738-750. The fold-
ers are in Para 2-3a and the logbook is in
Para 5-10a.
M939A2 Alternator Kit
Need more amperage to operate your
M939A2-series 5-ton truck and accessories?
Then get the 100-amp alternator kit, NSN
2920-01-371-6064. The kit is only for A2-
series vehicles and will be added to Fig 608 in
TM 9-2320-272-24P.
Mask Outserts Protect Eyes
Outserts that protect soldiers’ eyes from
lasers and low-speed fragments are now
available for the M40-series and M42-series
masks. The M1 laser ballistic outserts, NSN
4240-01-434-1503, are part of the additional
authorized list in TM 3-4240-346-10, so they
must be ordered separately from the masks.
