Trouble ACCessing
TeCh Pubs?
There is an interface problem between
Adobe Reader X
®
and Internet Explorer
7
®
(IE 7
®
) that disrupts the opening of
large PDF files for PS Magazine and other
technical
manuals/bulletins.
Because
Adobe Reader X
®
is part of the Army Gold
Master it’s not possible to remove it and
reload Adobe Reader 9
®
.
LOGSA has contacted Adobe
®
and they
are looking into the problem.
There are two working solutions.
First, use the Firefox
®
Internet browser
to access the PDFs. Second, when using
IE 7
®
, instead of trying to “OPEN” the PDF,
“SAVE” it to your computer instead. That
seems to get the file with little delay. It
does, however, strip out the internal links.
But, you’ll have the publication to use.
AEPS Retiring,
Applications Moving
The Army Electronic Product Support
(AEPS) system will retire on June 30, 2011.
Find information about terminated or
redirected AEPS applications here:
The main replacement for AEPS is
the TACOM-Unique Logistics Support
Applications (TULSA). As each application
migrates from AEPS to TULSA or to other
websites, links will be updated. You will
need your CAC to access TULSA:
For more information, contact Ray
Rivero at DSN 786-1985, (586) 282-1985

M1A2 SEP Tarp for CROWS
Tankers, once the CROWS (common remotely-operated weapon station) has been added to
your M1A2 SEP tank, one tarp just isn’t big enough to cover the tank anymore. A second tarp
is being added to the BII (WP 0555) in a future update to TM 9-2350-388-10-3. But until then,
you’ll need to order a second tarp yourself. Get the tarp with NSN 8340-00-841-6456 (olive drab)
or NSN 2540-01-330-8062 (tan).
HGU-56P Chin Strap
The aircrew integrated helmet system’s (AIHS)
quick-release retention assembly can be ordered
with NSN 8415-01-558-1082. But, if you just
need the chin strap, use NSN 8415-01-558-3127.
The chin pad comes with NSN 8475-01-434-0707.
M-ATV Window Sealant
The Sikaflex® 221 adhesive sealant
needed to install the windows on MRAP
M-ATVs comes with NSN 8040-01-566-
0125. Make a note until this NSN is added
to the vehicle’s technical manuals.
M917A1 Dump Truck Switch
Need a thermostatic switch for the transmission
control heater on your M917A1 dump truck?
Order a new switch with NSN 5930-01-096-7814.
This NSN replaces the parts info shown as Item
17 in Fig 298 of TM 9-2320-273-24P (Feb 90).
CECOM CA Reject Notes Online Only
If you turn in a requisition to CECOM and get
a CA reject, you will need to go online to view
the CA note. The CA note tells you what further
action is needed. CECOM no longer sends out
CA reject notes by mail. Go to:
The notes can be accessed by NIIN or document
number. Use your AKO user name and password
to log in.
Up-Armored HMMWV
Springs
Get a front spring for the M1114, M1151A1,
M1152A1, M1165A1 and M1167 HMMWVs
by ordering NSN 5360-01-457-8029. Use NSN
5360-01-524-6029 to get a rear spring for the
M1151/A1, M1152/A1, M1165/A1 and M1167
HMMWVs. NSN 5360-01-457-8018 brings a
rear spring for the M1114. Make a note until
these NSNs are added to TM 9-2320-387-24P.
RG31 MRAP Transmission Fluid
Do not mix other types of fluids, like Dextron III or IV, in
the RG31’s transmission. That causes unnecessary wear-and-
tear and performance problems.
Use only TES-295
transmission
fluid in the RG31
MRAP FOVs.
Here’s what is
available:
M969A2
Fuel Tanker
Engine
Need a new pump engine for
your M969A2 fuel tanker?
NSN 2815-01-471-4411 brings
the 12-volt Lombardini engine
that you have to install. The
installation kit comes with
a note until the NSNs are
added to your TM.
HMMWV Front Clearance
Indicator Light
Item 1 in Fig 61 of TM 9-2320-387-24P lists
NSN 6220-01-418-
4044
for the front clearance
indicator light on your up-armored HMMWV,
but that’s wrong. Use NSN 6220-01-418-
4404
to get the right light.
