Stop the crack attack! MLRS carrier ...That old enemy, vibration, is at it again. This time, it's attacking the engine oil dipstick dipstick /dip·stick/ (dip´stik) a strip of cellulose chemically impregnated to render it sensitive to protein, glucose, or other substances in the urine. tube on MLRS MLRS Multiple Launch Rocket System (US DoD) MLRS Multiple Launcher Rocket System MLRS Marine Corps Long-Range Study (US DoD) carriers that aren't equipped with a special bracket. Shaking and vibration whip the long neck of the dipstick tube back and forth. Enough of this can crack the tube. Oil escapes and drips on the exhaust manifold manifold In mathematics, a topological space (see topology) with a family of local coordinate systems related to each other by certain classes of coordinate transformations. Manifolds occur in algebraic geometry, differential equations, and classical dynamics. . If your carrier is unprotected, have DS clamp the top of the dipstick in place with these parts: Part NSN/PN Clip 5340-00-417-5800 Bracket 128964 * Cap Screw 5305-01-118-8826 Part NSN/PN Nut 5310-00-521-8595 Flat 5310-01-467-2838 washer * Order using part number and CAGE 15434. The clip and bracket stop the whipping WHIPPING, punishment. The infliction of stripes. 2. This mode of punishment, which is still practiced in some of the states, is a relict of barbarism; it has yielded in most of the middle and northern states to the penitentiary system. motion by supporting the top of the tube.
