Yeah, I know that will definitely play a part in value. I honestly purchased with the intent of never selling it, as such I wasn't concerned in keeping it "correct". I'm certainly having mixed feelings right now about it not having bids. :oops:
I don't really want to let it go, you know?
Yeah, I thought about that. I do have a ton of watchers, 30+ as of a couple hours ago and LOTS of page views. I'm just hoping they're waiting til the last minute to pull the trigger.
I would totally be in for that! I need to do something. It's way too low for me. It is 4WD, but it's like driving a car. They're considerably more expensive to lift than the CUCV's though. :shock:
:cry:
Adopted my niece, and now we have 4 kids. Couldn't all fit in it to go anywhere, which is the purpose of having it. Bought a Suburban so I can haul my family around.
Don't have room for 5 vehicles either.
I'm going to miss her. She's been good to me. :(
To the best of my knowledge, RPM does not affect voltage. All alternators have a voltage regulator, which keeps the voltage constant regardless of RPM. A smaller pulley on one shouldn't make any difference in the voltage.
Could be losing a wheel bearing, but I'd lean towards one of the U-joints going bad on the driveshaft, possibly on the rear axle pinion. That's where I'd start anyway.
Since the old site is currently down, I thought you might all like a link to a bunch of TM's for the CUCV's. Not the military site (which freaks out some virus programs) but just a guy who put them all together.
CUCV technical information
Since we're nitpicking, what about this portion of the forum rules?

Thanks guys! With the big 33" boggers and the 3.08 gears, I sometimes wish I had just a little more oomph on the pretty steep stuff. Not going to be hard on it or yank out stumps, but just a little more get up and go!
locking the front hubs? Sometimes on offroad hill climbs, I need a little more gear, but don't need 4WD. Can I move the TC to 4L without climbing out and locking the hubs? Will it break anything, or is it OK to do that?
When I say cold, I should qualify that I live in AZ, and my definition of cold is 50f. :lol:
When I run straight diesel, it fires within 2 seconds. It's not a ridiculously long cranking time, but I do wonder how it would crank in the 20's....
This is the pump I'm using. I got it for free or I would be using something else.
It's not exactly economical. 8)
Lincoln 284168 Air-Operated Oil Pump Transfer System
Still running fine, but hard as **** to start when cold. Have to crank it for 8-10 seconds before it lights off. Once warm, starts like usual.
Any way to alleviate this? Add a little gasoline to the mix maybe?
Free! I have zero deductible glass coverage. :smile:
The receipt says they billed the Ins. Co. $80.09 for the glass, $30 for new rubber, 13 cents for the mirror bracket, and $88 for labor. Total after tax was $208.47.
Ended up taking a large rock to the windshield of my M1009 over the weekend. Spidered it pretty good. Called up the insurance co and had the glass guy come over and replace it today.
What a difference! I didn't realize how clouded the old one (original, I think) was. It's like driving a new...
A friend of mine hooked me up with a 55gal drum of light hydraulic oil pulled out of a piece of mining equipment. It's clean and went straight from the hydraulic system into the drum. I'm using a lincoln air powered transfer pump to run it through 2 3 micron hydraulic filters. I was a little...
