It doesn't surprise me that the NP2000 props would have more stress-related issues. I hear the RPM is much more stable, which means it does a better job of being an airbrake for the engine than the old props, which would magnify torque-related stress. I'd expect you to see more truss-related damages though. I'd recommend reaching out to the Lockheed tech reps and see if they can identify a modification requirement for the E/H wings and nacelles that is newly necessary with a more responsive propeller. They may even have resolved a C-130J issue that they could retrofit into the older models. The NP2000 engines might just be easier to overtorque, a problem the C-130J wouldn't have with digital controls. Lockheed might just recommend a torque data-capture modification to make sure all overtorques are captured.

WHY MEN AREN'T SECRETARIES: Husband's note on refrigerator for wife: Someone from the Gyna Colleges called. They said the Pabst beer is normal. " I didn't know you liked beer "

what depot are you working at? Robins has seen a lot of acft with NP2000s and I haven't heard of this problem.

Men Are Just Happier People: NICKNAMES If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, outcome the pocket calculators...YEP!!! MONEY A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need--but it's on sale. BATHROOMS A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. FUTURE A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. MARRIAGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. NATURAL Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. OFFSPRING Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man can forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

Wow! Wish I could help. May help reaching out to the units that have said props.
