Like many full-time RVers, we use Texas for our legal residence. They have no state income tax and are very RV friendly (can renew driver's license online, absentee voting by mail, etc.) Escapees, the national organization for full-time RVers, is headquartered in Texas for this reason. Our mail...

Coachgeo: We'll take it to a shop in Fairbanks to get it looked over and change the fluids and filters. I'd sure like to hear the history on this truck. Not just the driveshaft story but why does it only have 1359 miles? And how in the world could it have cost Uncle Sam $230,363? That's WAY more...

Suprman: I found a SS sticky note saying don’t start insurance threads so I won’t. I don’t want to upset the moderator but, if allowed, this might save someone several hours of research and calling: RV insurance was our first choice since it will be converted to a rather plush overlanding...

UPDATE: We talked to the GP inspector in Alaska (very nice guy, BTW). He said the "mode" button does not have to be held down, just pressed once. He thinks the truck is in good shape and will probably be fine once the front driveshaft is reinstalled. We are having tremendous grief getting...

snowtrac nome: I called Pacific Power Products in Fairbanks (thanks for info). They don't have the keypad in stock but have two on order. It's $1077. The guy in Anchorage would be great except that's pretty far. I'm looking into a used keypad. Found one with a short warranty. Lionel: Thanks...

Wouldn't the 2000 LMTV M1079A1 have an Allison transmission MD3070PT? (Model number from MTV manual dated September 1998.) I don't know how hard it might be to get a keypad quickly in Fairbanks, AK. Might take one up there just in case? A local (TN) parts guy says there's more than one part...

Great info Suprman!

Yes, the front driveshaft is shown lying on the floor of the van body.

Thanks for the quick replies guys! Will re-install driveshaft. Do you sell the keypads, Suprman?

Just bought our first military vehicle, a 2000 M1079A1 LMTV 4x4 Van Truck. GP says "The mode button must be continuously depressed for the drivetrain to operate in forward only" and "front driveshaft has been removed." Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated. It's located in...
