    MEP003A starter grinding on fly wheel than starts

    Sounds like it might be your starter solenoid plunger or the lever fork not moving the starter gear in quick enough. The lever fork fulcrum maybe rusted, gummed up, bent, or the solenoid maybe going bad. Tom.

    I have to agree with @Lothar that it is way much easier to repair painted surfaces to get a better match than powder coating. Powder coating is better and a harder finish but much harder then paint to match up. It’s a personal choice. I use good prep work and good quality paint to paint frames...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    MME has them. They have the rubber ones and the silicone ones. I purchased the rubber ones for my truck because they didn’t have the silicone when I replaced mine. https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/replacement-lmtv-mtv-tie-rod-end-and-drag-link-boot/...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Replaced the 4 grease boots on my drag link and tie rod on my M1083A1, easy peezy. I took both rods off and cleaned out all the old grease from each ball joint and replaced with good new grease, Lucas Red and Tacky. Works like new.

    M1083 switches to Neutral when backing up.

    Yep as @NDT said, pull the codes. Also since you have a FMTV you may want to move your questions to the “FMTV” post location, you would probably get more responses. Good luck.
