    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    You can petition to change the body at any time during the title process and after title issue. You fill out a 130-U and file it as a "correction". If it's reasonable they'll take it or request additional documentation.

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    I've had to change the HMMWV body style "HEAVY DUTY" to LL or PK to make it fit the system but I've not seen a body style change beyond that in person. I have changed FMTVs from "ST" (Stake Bed) to "FB" (Flat Bed) without any issue. It has been as simple as stating the desired body style on the...

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    There is a code book at my local tax office that states a FMV can qualify without limitations to "year, make, model, country of origin, body style, etc" which was VERY broad. The vehicle must be of military origin, look military (simply put), and have a texas title. I've come to the same...

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    I'm going to debate titled body style vs identified body style for registration purposes. It's more flexible than most realize and the state's take on this has shifted of the years. I deal with this literally every week and get calls about military vehicles coming through the DMV as subject...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2023 - October VOTE HERE!

    It's a good line up this month! Too bad if it were an actual line up my M915A4R2 would leave yall in the dust.. literally. ;) She's got an angry Big Cam 400 with 450~ hp @ 1980 ft/lb, double OD, and 103 mph GPS verified top speed. @simp5782 has put her through the paces many times from coast...

    MV of the month October 2023

    I nominate one of my M915A4R2. We did a self recovery today since the local PD lacked a forklift.

    M1087 vs bridge

    It is. I'm the one who had to secure that mess at LZ Phantom to get it off base when the new base commander came in. There were a lot of opinions shared that day.

    M915A4

    There is an actual fuse panel under the main dash so check fuses there. Some are non-resetable. The TCM not being happy can be an issue. Otherwise poor continuity to starter. Only the starter, black out lights, and trailer 24v pigtail are 24v. All other systems are 12v. I've found these trucks...

    M915A4

    I have 5 of these M915A4R2s and they do require a lot of juice to fire up. The power system is similar to the FMTV in the sense that the 24v pulls so much voltage the the 12V drops out when trying to slave start. Group 31 or 65 batteries will do the trick if the outside temp is somewhat warm...

    FMTV tire wear comparison 395x85R20

    YMMV quite literally. I've had 2020's blow on me and still have a 2006 MV/T as a rear on my M1089A1 that looks great.

    Get Your Popcorn Ready: Unicorn ALERT

    What's truly amusing about this whole situation is the winning bidder paid nearly what Uncle Sam paid to Oshkosh. The NSN shows $72,269.88 as their standard list price but contracts from 2014-2022 show price of $42,596.63-$57,776.62. GP walked away with near 75% of that in their pockets.

    Questions about Title Transfer

    I can issue the appraisal, I'm a registered auto dealer in Texas and I do them often. The second part about "designed to travel on public road or highway" may be covered by text in a TM. It will at least state max travel speed for certain terrain including on highway use. The last requirement...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I opened and installed a true NOS alternator for my M936A2 wrecker. It was packed in a large foam block and wrapped in oil paper. Talk about mint!

    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    I agree they are or should be preventative but by the time we get them it's mandatory. *cough* I mean the Army totally follows all PMCS by the TM of course! *cough*
