On page 2-33, step/test relating to resolving
the problem of “Excessive exhaust noise” is
listed:
Step 1. During your inspection, you discover
that an exhaust pipe is cracked and
rusted. The part must be replaced.
Chapter 3, section VIII is referenced.
Turn to the “TABLE OF CONTENTS” and
find the chapter dealing with the engine.
You find it as “CHAPTER 3, ENGINE AND
CLUTCH SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE.”
Furthermore, you note that the chapter is
divided into nine sections; you are interested
in “Section VIII. Exhaust System
Maintenance.”
NOTE:
Before attempting to repair or replace the
exhaust system, as a Unit mechanic, you must:
12.
13.
14.
a. Determine the maintenance responsibility
of repair or replacement of the component.
b. If the task is at your echelon of mainte-
nance responsibility, you must identify
the tools needed and the replacement
parts required.
Refer to the Maintenance Allocation Chart -
MAC (appendix B) to determine not only the
maintenance responsibility of the item, but
also to obtain an estimate of the time re-
quired to perform the task, tools needed, and
any special notes/requirements necessary.
Refer to TM 9-2320-361-20P, Unit Mainte-
nance Repair Parts and Special Tools List for
M44A2 Series Vehicles, for requisition data
concerning replacement parts for this task.
Turn to chapter 3, section VIII, which covers
“EXHAUST SYSTEM MAINTENANCE.” In
the maintenance index we find that there are
two paragraphs listed, para. 3-37 and 3-38.
Paragraph 3-38 is a task for replacing the
exhaust system used only on model M50A2
and M50A3 vehicles. All other M44A2 series
vehicles will follow para. 3-37 for replace-
ment of the exhaust system. Notice that, in
this case, it starts on the same page, 3-82.
The first two pages shown have procedures
and illustrations for performing the removal
steps for components of the exhaust system.
