    HemTT wrecker coming up for auction on GP low miles....

    Someone had no clue how to drive or operate the HEMTT. Flip the dash switch for the interlock and lockers and walk out.

    MK48 wheels

    Again I would advise against it. The LVS puts extreme side loads with the way it steers.

    MK48 wheels

    Are you trying to change wheels on a LVS? If so that is probably a bad idea. The LVS has way higher side loading then a HEMTT and weighs significantly more.

    MK48 wheels

    The LVS wheels do not have a internal bead lock. They are a form of split rim. You remove the 3 plates from the rim (after deflation) then push the rim beads together about 3/4" inch to expose the lock ring, pull the lock ring then pull the rim halves apart. The plates are purely a safety item...

    MK48 wheels

    Don't go LVS wheels if you want standard and available rubber. The 16 x21 tires are only for the LVS and there are no more LVS's being used in the system. I have collected a set of spare new 16 x 21 tires for my LVS knowing in the future there will be no options for replacement. If you do...

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    sounds like a typical DMV deal with employees that don't know crap. You do not have to register these trucks commercial before historic. I would call Sacramento and request all of the fees back do to incompetent DMV employees. In the future a private DMV service is the way to go as they do all...

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    Go straight to CHP. I had several title get bounced back after getting an inspection don by a local officer. Also the CHP inspection supersedes the title info and the DMV uses their description / year

    Towing a HEMTT MK-48

    Absolutely do not tow a FPU only. Time to call a landoll in to move them. P.S. A HEMTT and MK48 are two completely different vehicles.

    So I just bought a HEMTT....

    There is no screen on the dash. I do have a heavy foot so I'm sure that is not helping my mpg. I have the 5 speed electronic Allison. Comparing apples to oranges (lvs to hemtt) the hemtt electronic trans is crisp and shifts right were it should, the 740 Alison in the lvs is in and out of lock up...

    So I just bought a HEMTT....

    3-4mpg man yours is getting then mine does. My A2 doesn’t get much over 2 maybe 3 if I drive very gentle. Of coarse the problem may be with my heavy foot:-D

    M977 HEMTT Acquisition

    Not sure about 60 since they top out at 54 aua. The HEMTT is definitely a better vehicle going down the road but in town or tight areas the mk48 will turn inside the HEMTT
