Rob,
Was there a Field Maintenance Order to inspect these areas for cracks and to repair them. What do you need to do to repair and/or add to keep this from happening? Mine was owned by the army till the end of 1987.

There is a CFTO on the cracking at the bellcrank.....it was considered repairable.



There was not one for the rear cracking. It would result in a PCC (Condemnation) request, and after approval the jeep would get used for cannibalization to keep others going.I suppose some maintenance facilities might repair the frame by fish-plating and boxing, but there was no specific instruction for this.



Trucks like these were constantly driven to the limits of their capabilities and some just did not survive it.

Rob,
I will check these areas very carefully for any cracks or damage, while the engine is being swapped out. Thanks... Rich
