Dear Editor,
We have a few suggestions that can help operators maintain their vehicles:
Order the left-hand rear condenser kit using NSN 2540-01-558-3448, and the
right-hand rear condenser kit using NSN 2540-01-558-3450.
Two fans that pull the air through are mounted underneath the condenser. Get the
front condenser fan with NSN 4140-01-548-2496 and the rear condenser fan using
Make a note of these NSNs in the TM until it’s updated.
The original rear condensers, NSN
4130-01-537-4847 and NSN 4130-01-
536-5561, are no longer available. But
you can get the replacement condensers,
closeout
panel
and
related
hardware
in upgrade kits that TACOM LCMC
assembled.

Use your tech
manuals to perform
PMCS and
maintenance.
•±
Keep a fire extinguisher on hand
to put out fires. If you don’t have
one, order a replacement.
•±
For trucks and any equipment
with oil reservoirs, check fluid
levels
before
starting the engine.
If there’s not enough oil, the
engine can burn out.
Please share these tips with
other equipment operators.

Keep enough
coolant in your
vehicle so it
doesn’t overheat.
In fact, keep your
oil, water and all
fluid levels full.
Editor’s note:
Soldiers, consider it done
and thanks for teaming up to help drivers.
Paying attention to little things can make a big
difference. Make sure you check transmission
oil from a warm engine, though!
