hen the driver’s seat cushion in
your ammo carrier wears out, it’s a
real kick in the pants. You can either
strap a pillow in place to protect your
posterior, or replace the entire driver’s
seat pan, NSN 2540-00-560-2169.
The pillow is a bit awkward and a
new seat pan is pretty expensive, so
most drivers suck it up and keep using
the worn-out cushion.
Good news! Now you can put that
cushion problem behind you by
ordering just the seat cushion, NSN
2540-01-473-4063. It costs less than
the entire seat pan, so you save
money. Plus, the new cushion saves a
lot of wear and tear on your backside.

veryone can use a little exercise, but running continuously will burn you out in no
time. The same holds true for the fuel pumps on your M992A2 ammo carrier.
Some pumps are running nonstop—at least until they burn out—because the
leads for the electrical wiring on the FUEL PRIME switch on the driver’s instrument
panel are reversed.
Right now, take a look at the FUEL PRIME switch leads on the back of the
instrument panel. Make sure they’re installed like so:
[whew]
that was a
good workout,
huh?
yeah, but
I
can’t rest! my
fuel pumps
are still
running.
Take a Seat…
Comfortably
don’t laugh!
IF your cushion
was in better
shape, he
wouldn’t have
to do that!
Slip new
cushion
over
seat pan
Just slip the
new cushion over
the existing seat
pan and you’re
ready to hit
the road!
