A Comparison of Maintenance Costs and RAM Characteristics of New and Overhauled M35A2 2-1/2 Ton Trucks.

Abstract

A comparison of the maintenance costs, and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) characteristics of new and overhauled 2-1/2 ton trucks is presented. This comparison was based on the performance of 259 new and 252 overhauled M35A2 2-1/2 ton trucks operated by the 9th Infantry Division, Ft. Lewis, Washington, over a four year period. The 511 vehicles evaluated in this study accumulated a total of 2.7 million miles with the individual new and overhauled vehicles accumulating mileage histories up to 19,000 and 11,000 miles, respectively.
