It's recommended that you keep the top speed for your M151-series 1/4-ton
truck under 50-MPH for the first 1,000 miles of operation. This's for proper
break-in of drive line components and service brakes.
 Whether new or already broken in, never torture your quarter-tonner with:
 SPEED TOO HIGH FOR SKIPPING GEARS WHEN SHIFTING
 THE GEAR POSITION .0




 DRAG STRIP TAKEOFFS USING THE ENGINE ALONE TO BRAKE-DOWN
 -f" .L GUNGUN FROM HIGH SPEED





 SUDDEN OR FORCED ENGAGEMENT OF OPERATING CONTROLS






 M113/MII3AI WEIGHT CLASS
 Confused about the weight classification for M113/M113A1 vehicles, includ-
ing the M577A1? It's 11... like FM 5-36 (May 65) says in Ch 1 (Apr 66), Table
IV-1, page AIV-9. TM 9-2300-257-10 will get this new word.

 $g SWITCHING' TIME
 There's a new starter switch for G744-series 5-ton diesel and multifue trucks
 and for those G742-series 2-1/2-ton multifuel trucks with the LD 465-1 engine
 (M35A2 etc.). Ask for Switch, starter, FSN 2920-133-9629 the next time you
 order one. It replaces Switch, FSN 2920-781-1953.


 Have you got the new vertical exhaust stack on your M52A1 truck tractor (or
 other straight diesel 5-tonner)? The exhaust pipe-to-turbocharger clamp assembly
 is FSN 2990-972-2605 -same as used on the older exhaust system-listed in
 TM 9-2320-211-20P w/Ch 1 and Ch 2 (Apr 67).
