Yes! I believe the MTVR and LVS / Mk48 tow bars use the same basic components for construction and accessories. Good catch Simp, sorry I didn't include in my earlier post.

This LVS / Mk48 tow bar is similar, but different than the MTVR tow bar. Though it appears many of the components are the same. The LVS / Mk48 tow bar has a tie bar between the two legs and remains at a fixed angle. The LVS / Mk48 tow bar is shorter than the MTVR tow bar. As sandcobra164...

Correct! It provides a coax conduit for the wireless signal.

Tinstar, As NDT said, the shelter is a purpose built Faraday cage! Hope this doesn't sound too simple, but the simple solution may solve the problem. Might be easy to try a unity gain antenna arrangement. Use two good quality cellular antennas and a sufficiently long piece of coax cable with...

The metal wire ID tags can represent a wire (single conductor), jack (connector with single or multiple conductors) or a plug (connector with single or multiple conductors). So it is possible to have multiple wires with ID tags converging on a single connector with a separate ID tag. The...

May be overstating the obvious, but has the ground be verified? My CTIS ECU connection cable has a separate wire and ground lug that attaches to one of the ECU mounting screws. I always start any electrical / RF troubleshooting issue by verifying connection to ground.

The “fold out” schematics are not listed in the table of contents. Look at the end of the tech manual. For the FMTV series, I believe they are at the end of the parts manual.

KGBruce, There are several FMTV owners in Missouri as coachgeo said. I sent you a PM with contact info. Stay safe and stay in touch, firefinder

My M1084 War Pig / Forward Supply version came with self supporting cables on the removable bed sides. This feature is not as nice as TerraTrotters grid deck, but saves weight and is much less expensive! This adds a surprising amount of deck space when the sides are in the down, supported...

I use SolidWorks and have some FMTV parts already drawn. Glad to assist with what I can.

This might sound like a stupid question, but how is this LVS / Mk48 tow bar actually used? After talking with a HEMTT owner, we came to the conclusion the ~ 50" overall length of this tow bar seems short since the attachment points on the LVS / HEMTT cab are recessed from the front of the...

Great discussion here! I'm not a battery engineer, but I have been trying to learn about some of the lithium based technologies. I ran across some YouTube videos and found a website that sells Tesla components. The Tesla batteries have a liquid thermal exchanger built in to allow for heating...

Just came across your post. The STE-ICE manual, TM 9-6625-2301-10 lists the following: HMMWV GM-UART Adapter 13580883 Cable Assembly, Interface Device, Electrical (HMMWV GM-UART Adapter): 13580883 (18876) 4920-01-495-0703 Hope this helps, let me know if you need further. firefinder

319cssb, Welcome to the MTV club! There are several members on SteelSoldiers with M1089's. I have MTV's, but don't have the wrecker variant yet! As you probably know, many of the parts are interchangeable across the MTV & LMTV models. You should be able to use your ICE Kit with the M1089A1...

I have a very old unit with multiple manual pumps. To my knowledge units that had an air/hydraulic pump had the pump located in the same place. The air/hydraulic pump is located behind the cab and between the spare tire and air filter snorkel. The air/hydraulic reservoir is part of the...

There are actually three batteries in the units. Two main batteries wired in series and a third, small battery for processor and memory. (2) PowerSonic PSH12180FR 12 Volt, 21 Amp/Hr (1) Tadiran TL-5104, 3.6 Volt, 2.1 Amp/Hr I have ordered the batteries from Amazon in the past. There...

Just to clarify, the MSHP Troopers and Vehicle Inspectors have always been great to work with! They have been very interested in the vehicles and have gone to great lengths to attempt to clarify how to properly title the military vehicles. The Department of Revenue has gone through several...

The forms (if DMV says they are needed in your case) must be completed as part of the application for title. Application for title must be made before purchasing the license plate. Sorry, but you are probably going to need to call DMV and get a ruling from them!
