    M923a2 Low range reverse

    High reverse is still plenty low. The problem is that if you're crawling around in low range forward and have to back up it adds a step to have to shift the transfer. The OP seems to be looking for a way to resolve this. There isn't one, short of replacing the t-case.

    Is there any other Paint Recommended besides Behr?

    A bunch. Seriously, I didn't count. It was done a little bit at a time over a period of weeks.

    MPG/Broken Record

    5MPG is low for an A2. Around town empty, I typically see 9mpg out of A2s. Highway speeds cruising empty I've seen an honest 12mpg. The worst mileage I've seen from an A2 was flat towing an M109A3, and I averaged 7mpg between northern OH and Waco TX. These numbers are from multiple different...

    M200A1 behind a HMMWV??

    . A hmmwv just isn't the right tool for the job. Sure, you can use a knife for a screwdriver, and a screwdriver for a knife, but results are suboptimal.

    Upgrading HMMWV With More Civilian Components

    Start with a truck that has it already in place. Adding one isn't that straightforward or easy.

    Varies by state. In California the state must visually inspect your RV equipment to ensure it meets the requirements.

    LMTV California Registration

    Why wouldn't it be? You're simply displaying the proper VIN number in an additional location... Where you'd get it problems would be if you altered the VIN in any way. Be advised, the information in this thread is *specific* to California and does not in any way apply to AZ. My advice - do...

    No Date on Data Plate, or Overhaul Date on Plate. What date appears on SF-97.

    No Date on Data Plate, or Overhaul Date on Plate. What date appears on SF-97.

    For these, GP requires that you pick it up prior to submitting the SF97 request. Getting the date of manufacture is not difficult - as mentioned above, track it down with the serial number or other dates on the truck. And as JP says, worst case just give it your best guess as who is to say...

    No Date on Data Plate, or Overhaul Date on Plate. What date appears on SF-97.

    They use you for the source of the date. They expect you to track down date of manufacture and submit a manual request for SF97. This adds time to the SF97 interval, and since it doesn't go through their standard process it also allows for an opportunity to lose it or screw it up.

    PU M149A2 - Brakes - 1/2 Ton - 30 miles

    The state's brake requirement is almost certainly driven by GVWR, and not the actual weight. That being said, you should be able to pull it easily - look how many times you see insurance auction vehicles pulling each other with towbars. A healthy dose of caution will go a long way.
