MK 48 LVS Manuals

I have had several people PM wondering if I have the service and parts manuals for the MK.48 LVS. Well the answer simply is no. I have tried for several months to get in contact with Oshkosh and finally received a response from them regarding the manuals.

If anyone does have the manuals for this, I would be in great debt to you. I would like to finally get this truck finished :-|

BTW, "T" the manuals for the HEMTT trucks should cover 90% of your truck and I have all those. OK, the some of the steering in the MK48 is different but its still built on the same basic platform. I have about 750 MB of manuals, I can upload them to my server and you can download them.

Could someone forward me any info on the MK48? Specifically I need to understand what all the hoses are from the MK48 to the rear of a MK17. Also the pinout of the connectors.

Congrats to all. I am in the same boat. A friend is active duty USN. They gives the Marines a ride now and then. Maybe he can obtain one. If anyone has one it would be much appreciated.

My Mk48

Pending EUC Approval. This is what I am looking to couple to a variant. If a fifth wheel became available that would suit me very well. Looking at several alternatives and awaiting pricing, many thanks to the SS members for their helpful replies.

:)

She sure looks purdy!

Did they give you any operational info or damage assessment? Looks cleaner than the one I got. I'm crossing my fingers there aren't larger issues when mine shows up.

As they say about a blind squirrel..:mrgreen:..There is a tag in the photos that indicates an overhaul on 4/10 at 24 hours and there is 48 hours on the Hobbs. I am hoping that this indicates a clean machine, who knows maybe the blind squirrel did not find a nut. I am looking for a trailer that I can use for cargo hauling but ideally would like a fifth wheel so that I can marry a lowbed heavy hauler to it. Good luck on your two, who are you using for the hauling?

I chose a bid off of uShip to haul em up here. Reasonable folks. Trailers were to be picked up today, but looks like tomorrow now. We shall see.

I grew up around Philly - Audubon to be exact. Where exactly are you?

Nice!! That is close... Although I was in Audubon, PA. Closer to King of Prussia.

So um... You gonna take your MK48 onto those Jersey round abouts???

Ha, my deuces were popular last year during the hurricane. The local PD used them to rescue motorists stuck on the infamous Jersey traffic circles.

While I am interested in all the manuals available for this vehicle, does anyone have the TM for the MK-48? I have been searching for information on how to operate the vehicle and inspect / change fluids prior to cranking over. Google is coming up empty...
