Smart idea slips one in for oil filter.


An Army warrant officer earned $250 for suggesting that HEMTT HEMTT Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck  trucks could use screw-on oil filters instead of the old torqued housing bolt filter.

CW2 Martin Smith of the 508th Trans Co noted that housing bolts for HEMTT oil filters are often over-torqued and prone to leakage LEAKAGE. The waste which has taken place in liquids, by their escaping out of the casks or vessels in which they were kept. By the act of March 2, 1799, s. 59, 1 Story's L. U. S, 625, it is provided that there be an allowance of two per cent for leakage, on the quantity which shall appear . He thought the conversion info mentioned in Fig 17 of the HET TM 9-2320-360-24P could be used for the HEMTT. So he submitted his idea to the SMART program.

The Army ugreed. So the HEMTT TM will be updated with this info at its next revision. Until then, units can use these HET parts from the -24P. Item 3. the new filter head, is NSN NSN National Stock Number

What you get are better filtration and less mess during oil changes, faster filter changing times, and fewer chances for leaks and possible contamination of the engine oil system during filter change.

Don't want to upgrade? Keep servicing your HEMTTs using the current TM.
