The only trucks I've seen that have tan interior are the rag tops. any of the armored trucks are always green inside and at my...

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

    Trucks are painted based on current And forecasted AO's. So motor pools can have both tan and green...the more desert ops as we have done the last 20yrs, many trucks are Tan....but a lot of CONUS trucks are still green...not including NTC and desert training sites. So most national guard trucks...

    No no...Lift the body with the front and mid bed ties....I do it all the time...some times several times a week. The rear of the bed needs to be supported by a helper...it has a lot of flex in it.

    Assistance installing Mile Marker

    The MM install is in the new manuals...not the older m998 series. you may have a hard time finding some of those parts if MM won't sell them...maybe someone has a bad winch.bmy MM has them and it's new in the crate.

    volt meter jumping

    Check the gauge grounds...as well as other wiring. Bring the idle to 2k rpm and check output...see if it's fluctuation on output....if it is, the regulator is bad.

    HMMWV - Brake question

    He never stated he had a driveline e-brake. I personally have not seen Any GP trucks that still have it, they have all had the MWO. It most likely needs adjustment....as has been mentioned.
