1995 M1078 LMTV "Atlas"

They pull the rear driveshafts if the trucks have to be towed to the GP yard. Yes, the truck may start etc., but there is going to be something catastrophically wrong with either the trans or the t-case. Pulled rear driveshafts are a kiss of death in my experience.

Just curious who else feels compelled to incorporate their MVs into their July 4th (US). I integrate it into our display of in no way illegal fireworks on our property. How do you celebrate Independence Day with the Independence-mobile in your life?

I have a 1994 M1081 that works great, though the illumination for the gauges on the dash doesn't work. Yes, I have turn the illumination dimmer all the way up, and no, this is not for the warning indicators, it is for the analog gauges. Any idea where to find the bulb in the dash and where to...

Agreed, but there are only so many latrines, and the trucks didn't drive themselves. I'm just glad this issue didn't manifest on say, Patriot Missile Launchers...

Heck, a driver's DOOR is nice... The cabs tilt up and forward for PMCS. Drivers tend to forget to latch their doors, so they slam open, often shattering glass and / or dislocating doors. Additionally, M1081s have bifold doors, so unless the window is completely down, someone releasing the...

🤦🏼‍♂️

@Suprman really is Superman if you have an LMTV; he has been really great by trying to diagnose my LMTV's woes remotely via email - day, nights, and weekends. He really embodies the spirit of this site and the MV brotherhood. Thanks!

Please add me to the map: Phoenix77 Greenville, NC Andy apbates77@yahoo.com

The driver's window is missing. Duh. :rolleyes:

*STE, crap... Glad the info got some use!

For what it's worth, NC uses the shorthand code STES for Stewart & Stevenson; maybe Alaska does too...? Worth a shot. I registered mine as a private passenger vehicle with no issues - sorry; not trying to rub it in - I hope that mfg designation works in AK.

If you really want to get their attention, send a well-written letter via registered mail to Iron Planet carefully detailing your experience and your grievances. I had an issue with a lot of 182 .50 cal ammo cans - only 65 had lids, which I took exception to. I carefully laid it out while...

Sounds like the Sand Pit in Fayetteville; they're pretty great. Not rocket surgeons, but they know what they're doing, and if you're cool to them (i.e., treat them like people), they'll reciprocate in kind. I've had great experiences there.

I'm willing to put in the work.

I have a 1986 AM General M998. I did initial fluid replacement (oil change, coolant flush, transmission fluid, changed fuel filter), installed two (2) new batteries, then the only other issue with the truck was what I surmised to be clogs in the fuel lines. I had the tank pulled by a local shop...

When are you going to do the Cars giant eyes in the windshield? :unsure: Also, if you manage to install a Charlise Theron, put me down as an interested buyer. Just don't tell my wife. ;)

I just love the play set in the background of one of the pics; nice juxtaposition of Fury Road and Fun Swingset

Hard doors, soft top :unsure:

Just a tip for potential contestants: when it comes to MV of the Month, with regards to wheels vis-a-vis chances of winning, if you ain't got six (6), you ain't got sh!t. More than four = foot in the door. Just sayin
