Product Improvement Test of Truck, Utility, 1/4-Ton, 4X4, M151, Modified with Solid Rear Axle

Abstract

A product improvement test was conducted on a truck, utility, 1/4- ton, 4x4, M151, modified with solid rear axle, at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) from 12 April to 30 December 1966. The purpose of this test was to determine the engineering performance and durability characteristics of the vehicle. The vehicle was subjected to limited engineering performance tests and a 20,000-mile durability test. It was concluded that the M151 modified with solid rear axle was unsatisfactory due to lack of durability of a majority of the modified components.
