CA did that for a long time. No 17 digit VIN then no road title. It was a thing. Obviously any vehicle before that requirement would then be illegal. Stupid logic.... Now it's not their thing. Don't know why. Figure somebody sued them into being sensible? HMMWV's are for sure their thing...

My advice.... Get your VT plates and title. Transfer to your state. If they push back ask them if they are not doing state reciprocity. If they say they aren't, or if they get to discriminate, take down the names of the officials document the event be obvious about it. Then get all your paper...

Air actuated clutch release (defeat?) cylinder. Operated from rear deck just forward of drag winch to engage/disengage crane/winch hydraulic drive. Little fuzzy on it as I've just started goofing with mine. The controls on the deck have this clutch pedal defeat item, power divide to winch or...

That's a good deal. If I didn't have an STE/ICE kit I picked up super cheap I'd get that.

The over speed is set for the tire pressure you are at. Each mode (HWY, XCNTRY, SAND) has an overspeed setting. So it could be a bunch of stuff. Like maybe your tires aren't inflated to HWY? Speed sensor, ECU, software..... Check your tire pressure first. Maybe then pressure transducer (tells...

Thread in the sub forum someplace. I replied to it maybe search my posts with CTIS in the subject. IIRC it was 98G that did all the footwork on the parts. I then ordered them and made a breakout cable with the pins I needed then wired them to the correct plug. It's a 26 pin male and female (same...

My experience is only with the M939A2 system so take this with a grain of salt..... Suprman is correct what he's alluding to is the speedo pickup. There's a generator that sends a signal to the CTIS system. Make sure that's working correctly. Every inflation pressure has an overspeed warning...

Curious how are you prepping for paint? It looks very nice are you taking it all down by hand or have a sand blast type setup?

This older one is cool it has a hand throttle and an engage/disengage just forward of the drag winch on the back deck. Got your control right there! Why the heck did they get rid of that?!?

OK so I think the A0 and A1 came with the auto throttle but for some reason the A2 did not. When you say "transfer case power take off control lever (beside the seat)" I'm thinking what's also called the "power divider" which engages the PTO drive to the hydraulic pump under the deck. It's the...

Pretty sure they all have the automatic (the 936's). Do you have an auto throttle? Mine does not (A2) but I think yours might. I have a hand throttle. So I put it in neutral, engage the power divider, put in in drive 1-5, then throttle up using my hand throttle. It's when I'm doing that where I...

For that matter USC 49, 30112(b)(1) would apply as you bought it in good faith from the US Gov't, have an SF97 to prove it, and it's not for resale. It's nice that they voted it through in GA. Here in PRC (People's Republic of California) I would have to author a bill of the same, get somebody...

First off make sure you are in top gear. You'll hear it kick into 5th as you throttle up. I just was using mine this morning and went back and thought "this is slow" then went back to the cab, one click out maybe 100rpm more to 1700rpm heard it kick down, back to the crane operates at full...

Ah I see you are having some of the same issues as I. I visited mine today in the woods and tried to get the brakes adjusted. I found broken shoes, lug nuts with thread coming off, cracked tires, etc.... At least I was able to load 5 tires and take them with me to do what you are up to: paint...

Huh. My wrecker is a '90 by serial number but was MI titled as an '86 so that's what CA thinks. No FMVSS to be found. Think this was just for the actual vehicles that entered production? Thinking LMTV, FMTV, HEMMT, etc.... The new Oshkosh stuff and whatnot.

I wasn't aware they started doing this (after my time and I own older stuff). Thanks for the correction. To some extent it'll still be "fuzzy" though. In the USCG we did COI for MSC because they "wanted to comply" per their directive but very much let us know they didn't "have" to. The same...

No military truck is ever going to meet FMVSS. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are things like crash ratings, air bags, seat belt style and type, etc... It never has and never will happen with MV's. The only reason they have "DOT similar" lighting is so they can traverse public roads...

Huh. Why do you need an SF97 if you already have an out of state title? State reciprocity rules apply if you have an out of state title. Has WA decided they will not honor vehicle titles from the other 49 states and that their rules take precedence over federal ones? I think not. Sounds to me...

Well I'm not sure about WA but where I'm at in CA we have the same issues. That said I was able to get it done. The problem with CA is they make everyone commercial (every truck even pickups) so they force that route before you can do anything else. This triggers the FMVSS requirement. I had two...

You can get it a CA plate. If I can do it for an '86 M936A2 you can do it for that. It took me awhile and I got told NO a lot just don't give up. Whether or not to pay weight fees in CA is another story I went historic. On the bright side I drove my wrecker across 8 states bringing it home and...
