Mix 'n' match roadwheels.


MSG MSG: see glutamic acid.  Half-Mast writes:

Dear Sergeant A. W.,

Your inspectors are right. Mixing steel and aluminum roadwheels on the same road arm causes uneven wear that wears out the roadwheels before their time.

You can mix steel and aluminum roadwheels on the same vehicle, just make sure you have two of the same type on each road arm.

Can't tell what type of roadwheels you have? The aluminum wheels have 18 small rivets equally spaced around the rim of the roadwheel. There are no rivets on the steel roadwheel.

You can also use a magnet. The magnet will cling to Verb 1. cling to - hold firmly, usually with one's hands; "She clutched my arm when she got scared"
hold close, hold tight, clutch

hold, take hold - have or hold in one's hands or grip; "Hold this bowl for a moment, please"; "A crazy idea took hold of
 the steel roadwheel, but not to the aluminum one.

Only steel roadwheels are still available in the supply system. If you need one, order it with NSN NSN National Stock Number

Dear Half-Mast,

There are two differernt types of roadwheels For M113-series vehicles: steel/and aluminum.

My maintenance inspectors deadlined several of our vehicles because they had steel and aluminum roadwheels on the same road arm. I've I've  

Contraction of I have.


I've I have
I've have
 searched the TMs, but; can't find anything that; supports what they're saying.

What's the straight scoop?
