I
f your unit has the Direct Support Electrical System Test Set (DSESTS), hang on
to your M934-series trucks for the time being, even though the Army is replacing all
M900-series 5-ton vehicles with FMTVs.
That’s because the M1087 FMTV isn’t approved yet as a DSESTS prime mover.
Concerns about possible electrical problems, weight and balance issues and cabinet
space limitations are the reasons why.
Units can’t make modi±cations to the M1087 without an MWO and there isn’t an
MWO available yet. A documented load plan and procedures for installing DSESTS
in M1087s are still in the works, too.
Until those issues are worked out, and TACOM comes up with an MWO, don’t
turn in your M934s. Also, you’ll need to reuse the DSESTS storage cabinets when
switching to the M1087, so hang on to those, too.

DSESTS…
Keep Your M934s For Now
Tactical Vehicles…
TRY THESE
TIRE CHAIN TIDBITS
{sigh}
Out To
Pasture. What
a
wretched
fate!
Not yEt!
I stiLl neeD
you to carRy
my DSESTS
equipment!
yeah! We StilL
neEd you, ol’
bUddy!
When it’s super
cold outside,
it’s harder to
function.
For people, that
means bundling
up in layers of
clothing.
That’s when a
little extra
can
make all the
difference.
For your vehicles, that
could mean using tire chains
while traveling in severe
snow and icy conditions.
There!
seven
layers
oughta
do it!
after I put these chains on
your tires, we’ll take a ride.
are you
sure
you know what
you’re doing?
I coulda
told you
that!
Tire chains
improve
traction on ice and
packed snow…
Chains that are
packed with ice lose
their effectiveness.
…but
only
if
they are
installed
properly
and
cleaned regularly.
