Did anyone find manuals for the MTVR, specifically the MK23? I have to pull the front differential and wanted to see if there were any pointers in there! Thanks!

There is only one Maintenance “manual” and it covers all variants of the MTVR. While in Iraq, we tried to upload the CD’s to the MEF share drive so that units could download load them. Something in the programs did not allow it to work.
Also, the newer EMS-NG does not work correctly all the time, especially when using the schematics.
I have been working on MTVR’s since 1999, first as a Marine then as a Oshkosh Truck Corporation FSR assigned to I MEF and II MEF from 2004-2009 and now I work on them for the Marines as a DOD employee.
I have yet to meet anyone who knows these trucks better than me….and yes I have current CD’s but no, I cannot upload them here.

@Madball90 you sound like you know your shit. Have a few questions regarding the CTIS on my 2002 MK23. When I change terrain to a "lower" selection; ie highway to cc, or cc to mss, I hear a audible "whine". Is this normal? I assume it's just the system purging the air from the tires? Next question, how long does it normally take to adjust pressures from different terrains/capacities? Seems like it takes mine a solid 10 mins before the lights go back solid. Perhaps I have a some sticking solenoids? Im not exactly sure where to look or start. I spent an enlistment around 7 tons, but never more that the occasional uncomfortable ride in the back. Bulk fuel Devil Dog here. Thanks for any and all advice you may have to offer. Rah!

"Whine" is not really descriptive. Air will release from the quick release valves. Yes the system can take a long time change pressure as these are high volume tires. Increasing pressure will take longer if revs are low as the compressor is spinning slower.
If the light eventually goes solid, that's a good indicator your ctis is working properly.

Specifications say 20 minutes to fill the tires up from sand to highway is normal at idle.
