All military equipment is tested and is EMP proof. This includes tanks, trucks, comm equipment and such.

Last time I worked on that style, I did not notice anything really different. Where I work, the big issue the get is from damaging the condenser/fans while training out in the desert…. We have about 125-150 HMMWV here, ECV and M-1123 variants. Most M-1123 variants do not have A/C.

The US Army now has a different A/C set up for the M-1151/1165/1167. They got rid of the condensers up in the rear wheel wells. They now install the condenser on the radiator. All other parts remain the same.

So I checked out TM and that is the correct NSN (part number changed). But that is not the NIIN that we use to order them. we use NIIN 01-480-4000. I do not have a new one that I can check until tomorrow to verify. It could possibly be that there was NSN change, but since they update our...

I cannot check until tomorrow

Ahhh ok….

Have you checked the bulbs in the composite lights, or is it the marker lights on the hood?

You must be talking about the cam assembly then. Actually what specifically is the issue with the lights, left and right turn signal or hazards and brake lights?

In regards to the rivnuts, those were for the first generation armored kits. They had the window, “L” shaped doors pieces, a turret gun shield and a turret back piece we called the Tea cup turret, armor panels for the cargo bed and a armored tailgate. The window was was the only part of the kit...

Yes, the USMC number on the hood. Not all trucks always have the USMC number in the passenger door. Their should be a data plate that will show what type of MTVR, USMC serial number, OTC serial number and TAM no and possibly date of manufacture. The plate is about 2x3 inches in size. I have to...

You need to look at the M11330, that is the RUC number that is assigned to every Military unit. That particular truck came from 3Rd Bn, 11th Marines (Artillery unit) stationed at 29 Palms CA. The lights were a add on done by many units for convoys. If you can send me the USMC number I may be...

For the Military Allison used in the MTVR their are only 7 speeds. That’s why I do not refer to a 5 or 6. I worked for Oshkosh as a MTVR FSR attached to the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost 6 years. I also went they the first MK-36/Mk-29/30 class in 2003. Been working on them ever...

My M-1123 has a 210 serial number and it was made in 2003.

The middle seat in your cab is also a gunners stand. All armored MTVRs and MTVRS with a turret use that set up now.

The MYVR’s spare tires are the #2 tires along with limp home bars.
