We are rooting for you.

Hey, we agreed no names here. Before you know it some guy in black will be knocking on my door and ack-!!

It was delisted for what ever reason. The system doesn't like it when items are "pulled" or "pushed" day so I'm told.

With the truck off both axles spin free. It's on jack stands now and I can manipulate them by hand easy. I can try the friction enhancer as I swap TCMs. CAn't hurt at this point.

I recently acquired a 98' M1078 with the WTECIII. It has an issue which I believe is focused on the transfer case (mechanically). The truck will start and go into gear, both Drive and Reverse, but it will not move. The transmission engages appropriately and puts a load on the engine but the...

It was a shift in Army mentality based on personnel and expenses. Less fresh recruits were able to drive a manual and the long term expenses of this was something they aimed to reduce. There is a publication out there (I'm racking my brain for the technical name but basically a military...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

What is the cost for this repair/MWO?

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

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.

Painted these two recently. Can't argue with the results.

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...

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...

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.

Adept Ape has a good channel with a wealth of knowledge. His weekly destructions are amusing too.

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.
