There are several optional configurations for the M88Al. The major differences between models are as follows:
a. ENGINE DECK
Earlier versions of the M88A1 have the original engine deck with integral hinges that connect the engine deck and
the right-side door. Later models have the new, optional engine deck with hinges that are connected by screws to
the deck and then welded.
b. VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Earlier versions of the M88Al have a single voltage regulator.
Later versions of the vehicle have dual voltage
regulators. See foldouts 3, 5, 7, and 9 for configuration differences.
c. SPADE RELEASE
Earlier versions of the M88 have a mechanically operated spade which is released through the use of cables and
linkages. Later versions have a hydraulically operated spade.
d. PASSIVE NIGHT VIEWER DEVICE
Earlier versions use an infrared (IR) light device that allows for night viewing, while current vehicles use the
passive night viewer device.
