Before you come in hot, eager to tell me to read all the other threads on this, read the next sentence. The ignition on the 1986 M998 was left on for a week, and now there's absolutely nothing when I turn the ignition on. YES: I charged the batteries subsequent to that debacle. I installed...

I'm going to try to make it- hook the camper up and maybe bring some buddies. I have Hardiggs, ammo cans, the heavy big a$$ metal boxes that could double as safes etc.

Just curious who else feels compelled to incorporate their MVs into their July 4th (US). I integrate it into our display of in no way illegal fireworks on our property. How do you celebrate Independence Day with the Independence-mobile in your life?

I have a 1994 M1081 that works great, though the illumination for the gauges on the dash doesn't work. Yes, I have turn the illumination dimmer all the way up, and no, this is not for the warning indicators, it is for the analog gauges. Any idea where to find the bulb in the dash and where to...

@Suprman really is Superman if you have an LMTV; he has been really great by trying to diagnose my LMTV's woes remotely via email - day, nights, and weekends. He really embodies the spirit of this site and the MV brotherhood. Thanks!

The title pretty much says it all... Do I need to just pop the cork on the bottom of the transmission and drain fluid, or is it more nuanced?

So the thread title pretty much says it all... I'm looking to find a good, existing 12v circuit I could add a small fuse panel to that would power exterior LED floods, USB phone chargers etc. I plan on splicing into the ignition power for the stereo and rear camera, but other than those, where...

Yes; I looked in the TMs. No, it isn't depicted. Only thing I can guess this might be associated with is the generator throttle handle (i.e., power feed on / off). Anyone know what this does? Yes, I've messed with it with truck on & truck off... Thanks in advance.

I was wallowing in frustration this morning, trying to find some sort of contact info for TSC when I stumbled upon this. It is from April 2020, and hopefully it will portend a faster processing of EUCs in the future. Keep in mind that this is a government agency function, so doubtless we are at...

I visited my 1995 S&S M1078 this past Friday the the GP lot (still awaiting EUC approval, just went to TSC last week, so maybe this week or next...). The passenger door needs a latch mechanism, which I just ordered, but it also needs the connector rods. I researched the Tis and found the NSN...

This past weekend we took our Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road and 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV to Cape Lookout National Seashore on the outer banks of NC to camp in a cabin and drive on the sand. She just got a brand new rear differential installed, so this was the maiden voyage for it. Beautiful...

I read all the threads I could find about other people's encounter with this issue before starting a new thread. I'm trying to diagnose as much of the issue as possible remotely as I await approval of my EUC. I saw that with weak batteries it may crank, but not start. I noticed this pic of the...

I am waiting to pick up my M-1078 and the inspection notes "some fuses and relays missing" 🤔 That is super helpful, and while I am waiting to be able to claim my truck, I want to wrap my head around what items are inoperable due to missing fuses. I have attached the picture from the auction...

I consider my S-250 / M-1102 build a success; so much so we bought a civilian camper and I'm selling my labor of love... :rolleyes: On to the next [dubious] project: M-1082 (LMTV Trailer) and S-280 Electrical Shelter. I won the shelter from Albany, GA for stupid cheap: perfect condition (as...

If anyone is headed from / through Albany, GA area to the outer banks of NC, I won an S-280 shelter last week. I have the shipment listed on VeriTread and uShip, but so far the most affordable quote is my left kidney. Any help would be appreciated / compensated. Thanks!

I've got listings up on VeriTread and uShip, but I thought it would be worth seeing if anyone here is headed toward the NC Outer Banks from points near / via Albany, GA. Thanks.

So my thread imploring fellow members to talk me out of an LMTV did not accomplish it's stated objective. I read the rules governing auction postings, and this complies, so please, if you are an LMTV guy / gal / guru, take a look and let me know what sticks out to you (beyond the basics of the...

I already own a 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV. The wife was super happy about that surprise. But lesson learned, I have forewarned her of my recent irrational fascination with owning an LMTV: Stewart & Stevenson family or BAE (liking BAE as it has A/C already). She's not happy about that either...

Recently my 1986 M998 converted itself to front wheel drive only. Even in "HL", which is supposed to lock the rear diff (right?). I have recently replaced 3 of 4 half shafts and none of them were broken (hindsight). I jacked the rear end up, chocked the front, put it in gear, and gave a little...

I parked my 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV in our front yard for July 4th. Below is an actual text exchange with my wife. We have 9.5 acres with a huge concrete foundation at the way back where it is wide open and have several families over for fireworks. Me & some buddies drove down to SC for...
