    XM708 dashboard plates

    I’m pretty sure all the ones I’ve seen just had regular m37b1 tags on the dash like yours.

    Another, but unique ID request

    The maintenance body is aluminum so it is really not too heavy without tools in it.

    Another, but unique ID request

    Looks like a SECM body from a CUCV contact maintenance truck mounted on an m116a2 or m116a3 trailer chassis.

    1986 M1009 Rear Light Nightmare

    I’d check your grounds.
