    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    If you're buying it in Lousiana but titling it in Texas then yes you will have to pay tax again. Then submit your tax receipt to GP/IP and they will refund you the Lousiana sales tax when they get around to it (usually 4-6 weeks in my experience).

    Won an M1083A1 - 1900 mile recovery trip soon! (ND to CA)

    I'm not saying this is the answer but if signs point to a defunct push button controller I just had one rebuilt for my A1. I could over night it to you to get you home. Let me know, offer stands.

    FMTV Fording

    If the TM says 5 ft with exhaust extension I'd be inclined to say no higher than the bottom of the battery box without it. We both know they're a weak spot and if the driver hadn't prepared the truck then he/she shouldn't be fording too deep anyway.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Door handles..lots and lots of door handles. I guess you could say I'm pretty good at them now. :-P

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got this MTV 1083 W/W last week. 594 miles, BAE rebuild in 2009. Swapped the gear selector and it came to life. Now to deal with the sticky brakes and remove the lot graffiti.

    Hyster H40-XL-MIL Trans/Differential Issues

    Problem was not identified or solved beyond what was stated in thread. Unit was sold to a wholesaler as parts were hard to find and the unit not worth the repair.

    16.00R20 XZL on M923A2, tire age concern

    Ditto to what 98G said. Ask user Simpson on here. He put 60,000 miles on my set of 2002 XZLs rolling 70 mph at over 65,000 lbs until he simply wore them out.

    M1093 - Missing Dash gauges and fuse panel is gone

    I passed on it too. I'd have used it for parts but that's exactly what is seems to be missing...parts.

    Hello all from Alaska with two M1083A1

    I know the ones you're talking about and congrats! Make sure to take the ECMs to Cat and get them hard flashed so they don't leave you stranded without warning.

    Jeep transport from NC to Texas. Anyone able to help?

    Where in Texas are you needing it since you're profile has no city (it needs one as per site rules). simp5782 is bringing me some stuff from Tennessee and is planning to make a stop in Dallas, San Antonio, and College Station (near Houston) so I bet he can help if you can get it to him in the...

    Liberty Hill TX M35A2 build

    From my experience they've been reputable but part prices are very "hit or miss". Prices for vehicles were high and unrealistic in my opinion, M35A3s were 15K etc. When I was there last they were redoing an oshkosh snowplow truck but that was 5 years ago. Overall you should be fine but it was a...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I agree that camo is better than tan but I had a matching cover. :shrugs: Also she's sharp with everything cleaned and ready to roll.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Painted the M1078 this weekend. I'm surprised how easy it was despite more nooks n' crannies to get into. I'll peel it this coming weekend and take more pics.

    M923a1 assistance

    Since no photos were shared here's the truck in question for others to give input to the owner. It was the only M923A1 sold last week and it being in Louisiana and the year 1986 gave it away (that and the "flat" tires). I watched it sell and let it go...
