Hello Everyone,
I am new to the whole CUCV world and am very very interested. I actually decided to post this thread in hopes of getting some advice. I want to purchase a cucv (M1009 I believe, its the 1.5 ton pickup?) but am weary about driveability. I guess my questions are as follows:
1.) I plan to use this as a daily driver, but would also like to be able to drive on the highway without worry for good chunks of time. It has the 3 speed T400 with 4.10 gears. Would I be best off replacing the tranny (if so with what?), replacing the gears, or purchasing a GV o/d unit?
2.) Newb question. . . Anyone know the bolt pattern of the 16" rim, and the max tire size I could go without mods of any kind (no lift, fender trimming, etc. . .)
3.) Has anyone had troubles with their 6.2 starting in cold temps (-10 to -40 we're talkin here). I live in northern mn.
Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice!!
