Some sad news FYI.... PS Magazine is sunsetting. Half-Mast Sends: PS Magazine Will End Historic Run Effective Sep 30

Well, every company has their "Special" employees. But this facility in Oshkosh, WI has the best. 4 of their guys stayed 4 hours after work to help my shipper load the M1000 trailer from the Training Center grounds. And it wasn't fun either... LOL

Oshkosh Defense just offered to bring in the M1240 and do an Annual Service on it for me this summer before I take possession. I'll supply the parts kit, they supply the POL and labor. No charge. Just can't say enough about the guys in that Oakwood shop. When I go back out in March, I'm...

What I can do is download the TM and provide any info from it that is not subject to ITAR or Distro. Like Part numbers for unclassified items.

We have sanitized versions we supply to FMS, but even those are not enough to justify a Dist. A. LOL

That's the new Mark II Hiab crane. 3 BII Boxes, one full width right behind the crane, and 2 smaller ones on the back. And a new TAC4-I independent suspension with nitrogen height adjustment like the JLTV.

I had heard something similar, but that the glass and Spall Liner would fall out, allowing me to insert layers of lexan.

I've been working there creating TMs over 22 years. I wouldn't risk my security clearance doing something like that. He'll, I get pissed when I see Dist. C and D at Surplus Stores.

Yes sir.

Here is the FMTV A2 Wrecker

M-ATV are still EMS, they are working on doing a contract mod to do an in-house IADS conversion. The FMTV A1P2 books are being converted as well. We're drafting the A2 books in IADS now.

I have access to LDAC, so I already downloaded it into EMS Next Gen viewer. I used to be the TACOM Equipment Specialist for this truck. Now I'm on the FMTV A2

It looks like I'll need to download the TM's. It's the old mantra.... As survivability increases, maintainability decreases. I just hope I won't have to yank the engine/trans combo.

Going to be picking up an M1240 M-ATV soon. My first project will be dropping the belly armor so I can service the Trans, T-Case, and replace a couple U-Joints. Then I can replace the Turret Hatch seals. Edit: Forgot, I also have to replace the delaminated windows. I've got a dinner platter...

My M1000 can use a new battery!

I do not know of any shops in this area. Your best bet is to call around. I think your best bet is going to be north, like Chesterfield and out from there. I've seen a lot of trucks around me (Croswell), but you can probably find a place south of I-69

I'd start with the wiring diagram and trace the 12V and Ground sides of the brake light. Just to see if either circuit is shared with the box. Have you done a ground harness on the truck yet?

Definitely invest in a good 24v Charger. For jump starting, I am making a cart with 2 deep cycle 12V batteries that will be wired for 12 and 24 volt with multiple cables, including a NATO Slave cable. This way I can jump start anything.
