SECTION IV. Engine Exhaust Systems
3-8. General.
The engine exhaust system is the exhaust manifold, header pipes, muffler and other
exhaust ducts. Since these engines are turbocharged, the exhaust gases are also routed
through the turbocharger.

3-9. EXHAUST SYSTEM DAMAGE
General Information:
To repair holes or cracks in the exhaust system, cans or similar metal items can be cut
and bent to cover holes. A source for the large clamps needed is the generator air
ducting system of a nonrepairable vehicle. Air ducting is needed to cool the
generator/alternator. Avoid using the clamp from the tank under repair because if the
cooling is disabled, the generator/alternator could be damaged.
Limitations:
o Some loss of power at high operating speeds. Generator/Alternator damage if
cooling duct is incomplete.
Personnel/Time Required
o 2 soldiers
o less than 2 hours
