    why late model MEPs being surplused?

    Downsizing the military, more emphasis on being "light", and the fact that many TOC's are now in the back of vehicles/powered by vehicles and not huge "tent cities".

    I have a M923A2 & push botton light switch wont turn off?

    The switch is shot. Buy a 3 lever and never have another problem with it. The push button switches SUCK. many threads on here about them, all with the same conclusion.

    looking for M939 sincgars radio installed pics

    The issue mount for the 939 series SUCKS...... it will rattle itself to death quickly. I had 15+ of them when I was in the Army. Best thing to do is bolt the mount to the front of the passenger seat with the controls facing up.

    Push Button light Switch, fire hazard??

    the "extra wire thing" is a load of crap. They are all the same, they all burn/catch fire/melt. Not worth it. I talked to the manufacturer one day, there is no "1st version/2nd version. I had one until it almost melted my wiring harness..

    HMMWV sand color paint can tell its history? Were they all painted green first at AMG

    Paint color doesn't indicate anything. We had M998's come thru brand new green or camo, and once they hit the motorpool, it got sent off to the MSB's paint shop so it matched the rest of the fleet.

    MPG difference with cargo cover vs no cover

    Forget the MPG difference. Every mile you drive at highway speed is less life on the cover. Unless you need the cover, dont use it, unless you like to buy covers.
