The M number is the assigned unit number…on Hmmwv’s it’s on the rockers and tailgate, the problem is on the armored trucks is the Rocker armor is removed during Demil.
Your truck was not IED’d and rebuilt, that’s not something they do to rolling stock items like Hmmwv’s and trucks, Aircraft and Ships are repaired when economically feasible.
A truck that’s damaged in county is scrapped…not returned to CONUS.
have you tried to move the fuel cut off armature with your finger while the cover is off? Does it “effortlessly“ move and spring back on its own?
ANY resistance will deny fuel….
Many countries do this for military parades, quite common. The U.S. military has had guidance for many moons about spraying diesel fuel to the paint jobs to make the trucks appear wet and clean.
Alot of that came about when the military had actual military parades, something we frankly don’t see...

Just buy the bolts in stainless steel, I try and use SS socket cap bolts on all the turrets I install and sell.
also, apply a sealant on the bolt before you insert the bolts, that’s how the factory does it.
I wish folks would research what a shock does as opposed to a spring….i promise you, on a Hmmwv you wouldn’t notice a difference if you just

Black smoke is excess burnt fuel, white smoke is excess unburnt fuel.
