Replacing HMMWV Seat Belts
Damaged seat belts for the M998 HMMWV can be
replaced with a 3-point seat belt, NSN 2540-01-495-0817.
The belt is made of slicker material for better retraction.
NSN 2540-01-495-4018 is an MWO kit installing 3-point
seat belts on trucks still using lap belts. The kits are con-
trolled and are being replaced in DA Master Priority List
sequence.
5-KW and 10-KW
TQG Filters
If your unit is
running 5- or 10-
KW tactical quiet

handy:
Get the fuel filter seal kit with NSN 2815-01-139-4010.
HET Tachometer and Gauge
NSN 2541-01-494-6557 gets a new tachometer and dash
panel with gauges for the M1070 heavy equipment trans-
porter. This tachometer replaces the old-style tachograph
shown as Item 1 in Fig 58 of TM 9-2320-360-24P (w/C2).
PLS Heater Switch
Use NSN 5930-01-207-6337 to get the heater control switch for the palletized loading system.
This NSN replaces the parts info shown as Item 3, Fig 440 of TM 9-2320-364-24P-2.
M1000 Backing Plate Kit
Get a backing plate kit for the M1000 HET semitrailer’s
brake housing with NSN 2530-01-445-9205. This new kit
includes Items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 4a, Fig 17-1 of TM 9-2330-
381-24P w/Change 3.
Landing Mats
Parking aircraft in the sand damages rotating parts on
take off and landing. Also, you’ll probably have problems
with the bird sinking into the sand. Avoid the headaches
by ordering 4 X 4, aluminum landing mats, NSN 5680-00-
930-1524 or pallet and mat assembly, NSN 5680-01-176-
9076.
Fuel Tanker TM
POL folks, listen up! If you’re still using TM 9-2320-279-
20P (June 1994) to get parts for your M978 fuel tanker,
STOP! It’s been superseded by TM 9-2320-279-24P-1 and
TM 1-2320-279-24P-2.

Black Hawk Desert Operations
Units, desert operations worked your birds overtime!
Now it’s time to get them back into shape. So be on the
lookout for authorized contractor field teams and depots
to do a thorough inspection and cleaning of your air-
craft. They will use TB 1-1520-237-30-1 to do the work.
You are not authorized to apply the cleaning TB.
M1070
Battery Switch
Dead batteries and the M1070 HET tractor seem to go hand-in-hand,
especially when the vehicle sits idle for long periods of time. After shut-
down, the clock on the tractor’s tachograph continues to draw power
from the batteries. Stop battery drain by ordering a battery disconnect
switch kit with NSN 5930-01-494-9353. Installation instructions come
with the kit. Make a note until the NSN is added to TM 9-2330-360-24P.
Life Preserver Update
ALSE techs, on Page 41 of PS 611 (Oct 03), we said to inspect the life preservers (LPU-10) every
120 days. That was correct as stated in multi-service Air Force/Army T.O. 14S-1-102 and TM 5-
4220-202-14. The Army has decided to require LPU-10 inspection every 180 days, even though
Air Force message STRAP-M-97000456-CC-R says 360 days plus or minus 10 days. Questions con-
cerning this decision can be directed to Patrick Rowe, DSN 897-6134, (256) 313-6134 or email:

Send in SINCGARS Airborne
Amplifier-Oscillator
Unserviceable SINCGARS airborne amplifier-oscillators,
NSN 5895-01-451-9743, need to be turned in to

credit” for each turn- in.
PLS
Headlight
NSN 6240-01-420-8320 gets the
12-volt headlight assembly for

wrong.
