In the process of purchasing a LMTV for S&R in county. Currently have a M929 which just listed for surplus. Not really familiar with the LMTV. So, I'm here to get some information and knowledge from those who possess it. I work for a very rural county that is prone to flooding from tropical systems.

Welcome to the Outfit!

It will be worth your time to grab the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your LMTV. Those crusty books will put you to sleep if you try to read them in a recliner, but they will be your source for solid answers. Downloading them and using Search in Acrobat will expedite finding information easier. Learning the nomenclature is the most difficult part of using these books. Finding a "bushing" that is called a "support" makes you want to scream, but with a little recliner time it will help get your brain queued up to find what you need.

Hello all. Glenn from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our fire department picked up a 1997 S&S M1078. It is in very good shape. Our department doesn't have any members that served in the modern military, so we're at a disadvantage on the ins and outs of the M1078. I'll probably have a...

Thanks for the welcome. I believe our LMTV is a 1078 but don't hold me to it. I take delivery next Wednesday. As soon as we get it in county. I will post pics!

Are you getting it from the state yard in Raleigh?

Yes sir.

If you're driving it back, pack a lunch. That was a looong ride home. 54 or 55 is all I could get out of it.
We had to buy 2 batteries for ours before we left the yard. Have since converted it to a 2 battery system.

I picked up the batteries today. Needs some engine oil, a little bit of transmission oil, and power steering fluid. I’m just glad it not hot out. Should make for a better long ride lol. Our m929 was also switched to a 2 battery system. I appreciate all the tips.
