That’s why TACOM LCMC found a solution to this growing problem.
Sustainment-level maintainers can Fx your HMMWV using a repair kit and a Huck
Bolt installation tool.
The repair kit, NSN 2590-
01-549-6438, allows repairers
to Fx any cracks found in the
front right or left body mount
brackets by replacing defective
body mounts. The kit contains
both of the front body mount
assemblies and enough spacer
washers and rubber insulators
to repair all six body mount
locations.
To decrease down time, sustainment-level maintainers can order the Huck
Bolt installation tool before getting the kit. It is available from Champion Charter,
(906) 486-9932, using PN 256 W/99-12-90 Nose or from Gage Bilt Products, (800)
521-1363, using PN GBP 722-W/LB08-713-20 Nose.
More Tire Options Added
T
o meet the growing demand for HMMWV tires, TACOM LCMC has added more
options to the inventory. Now users in SWA can use Goodrich Baja and Goodyear
MT/R tires and tire and wheel assemblies or continue using Goodyear MT tires and
tire and wheel assemblies.
The Goodrich Baja and Goodyear
MT/R tires and tire and wheel
assemblies can be mixed with each
other, but
don’t
mix them with the
Goodyear MT tires and tire and wheel
assemblies. And make sure the spare
tire on your HMMWV is compatible
with the tires on the ground.
Units outside of SWA must order
only Goodyear MT tires or tire and
wheel assemblies until around
May 2008. By then, there should
be enough Goodrich Baja and
Goodyear MT/R tires and tire and
wheel assemblies in supply to
support every unit.
