Ken,

I'm thoroughly confused and can't figure out what you're looking for....you
Britts do that to me all the time.

I have TM 11-2300-351-14&P-22. It is for:
"Installation Kit, Electronic Equipment MK-1234/GRC (NSN 5820-00-450-6804)
in truck utility, 1/4 ton, 4x4, M151, A1, A2 for radio sets AN/GRC-125,
AN/GRC-160, AN/VRC-46, AN/VRC-53 and AN/VRC-64.

Do you need this TM? If so, I'll FEDEX it to you on loan.

HOWEVER, regarding Britts confusing me, you saved my butt when you warned
me about not using MINERAL OIL in my MUTT. For that I am ever grateful. I
have the proper MIL L mineral oil in the transfer case and transmission!!

Several M151A2 owners I spoke to had no idea of the calamity that could
happen should they not use mineral oil.
