I know that some of the parts are drying up for the CUCVs. I guess the GP module is the big one and maybe the CDR. I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of either alternate part numbers or even a list of special parts that we should get to keep these things on the road. I am not a mechanic but I want to get another 30 years out of my CUCV (**** I'd be happy if I last another 30 years).
Any of you wiser hands out there have a list of parts we should be on the lookout for? Is the CDR a part that needs to be replaced? Is it that hard to find a replacement. I just saw one on eBay go for $120. Is that hype? Can we use a different military one or a civilian one? Do we even need to worry about it?
Like I said I'm not a mechanic. I am not worried about air cleaners or oil filters and the like. Those should be around for a long time. The list I am looking for is unique CUCV parts that could stop the truck from running and you can't get a replacement from the auto parts store.
