    Tire studs?

    Looking at a set of Goodyear 395’s. It appears there are metal studs down in between the treads. What’s that all about? TIA

    Model year differences

    Can anyone summarize the differences in the 1083’s by model year? I know that there are differences in engine, and engine & transmission management controls. I’m more curious about other differences. I’ve got a 2002 and am contemplating picking up a 95 through 97 model for parts. TIA

    Fan blade cracking

    My fan blade has a crack in it. My gut tells me either the design was bad, the material was flawed, manufacturing process was flawed, or something struck it. I don’t see any witness marks elsewhere to suggest it was struck or impacted. Anyone have good intel on cracking fan blades?

    What have you done to your MTV recently?

    I cleared the “check engine” and “ABS” DIC lights. I was on the verge of buying a very expensive scan tool. I drove it around the pasture a few times - giving rides to friends. At some point the lights quit coming on. Guess it just needed a little exercise to clear the codes. Bought 2 used...

    Light switch differences?

    My ‘02 MTV M1083A1 has the sexy push button service drive / BO drive light switch. Question: we’re the fancy light switches part of some field mod / upgrade or simply a Army wide replacement for the older switches? Just wondering if this newer switch indicates other upgrades / enhancements...

    SF 97

    Sharing my experience & current status. I completed and sent the EUC & SF97 to GovPlanet within 24 hours of purchase. EUC came fairly quickly and I was able to get the Item Release and pick up the MTV. After a week of no SF97 action I called GovPlanet & was told it would take 8 to 12 weeks...

    Repair parts - Prescribed Load List (PLL)

    I spent 21 years in the Army; mostly in the Infantry. Retired as a Warrant Officer. We used to stock parts that were mostly “high usage” or critical for a weapon system. As a new MTV owner I suddenly find myself thinking “what parts must I have on hand”? If I’m not careful I might need a...

    New ride

    New member. I saw this M1083A1 and threw the 1st bid at it. To my surprise no one else bid and it was mine. It arrived on Thursday night August 12, 2021. Did not run & had a flat tire. Started troubleshooting today. Found a broken wire on the auxiliary starter solenoid. Repaired & fired...
