I'd be curious to hear which trucks were fitted with them.

Of all of the lmtvs I've seen and driven, I've never seen any with them. Americans are scared of change.

Guess we can't all have a far superior vehicle.

Actually, from my experience, quite a few of them do. They are controlled by the CTIS controller or the Allison shift pad. In a regular FMTV, pressing the Mode button does more than turn on a little red light. It locks the transfer from front to rear. Selecting Cross Country locks the rear axle or axles and selecting Mud Sand Snow locks up the front axle as well. Selecting the lower tire pressures also restricts how fast you can go before the lights start flashing indicating overspeed. If you maintain the higher speed for more than a minute or two, it will automatically switch to the next higher unlocked setting. I've verified that they control the axles by showing operators how to get unstuck without the need for me to use my M1089 to winch them out. Not personally owned trucks as the newest M series truck I own is an M1028 but I dress in ACU's on occasion and I'm a recovery vehicle operator when I do don that outfit.

You don't think a FMTV is total a change?

I will call my buddy Brent in engineering at Eaton and get a PN # for this. I am starting a new FMTV axle build front and rear steer with sheet metal housing this week. A pair of narrowed ones can be used for a pickup truck.

I have done some internet searching and came up empty. If all of us look maybe we will turn something up.

Couldn't the Brazos/Bronto lockers be used in the FMTV? Both have military Meritor axles.
