Nice truck. There's one up for auction soon on GovPlanet with the troop carrier seats still in it.Time to give this thread some juice. Won a CUCVII this week and looks pretty sweet.

Absolutely. That's excellent!
CUCV III Tahoe sold today on GSA. 9 grand. Add 1000 tax and registration, 1000 for needed tires, 1000 for paint, 500 for two batteries. Around 13K to get on the road. Ouch.
I watched it and let it roll. It makes me feel a lot better about my CUCVII purchase. On that note the M1009 in Springtown brought $7050 today so the market was thirsty.CUCV III Tahoe sold today on GSA. 9 grand.

Sold my m1009 for 14k last year. The days of cheap $500 cucvs are dead and gone.I watched it and let it roll. It makes me feel a lot better about my CUCVII purchase. On that note the M1009 in Springtown brought $7050 today so the market was thirsty.
I bet yours was nice. Not clapped out from fresh off duty at Hood after all these years.Sold my m1009 for 14k last year. The days of cheap $500 cucvs are dead and gone.

I'll check the alternators and leads, I'm sure they're due to be brushed for corrosion control. As for the blower it's missing completely. There's a single purple wire hanging down near the empty housing that may be the hot for it. I'm still triaging main components.The tach signal is generated from the alternator. One alternator for 12 volt and a 12 to 24 converter for the top battery. Possibly a bad connection or a bad signal from the alt. Looks like it is back feeding somehow. Blower motor relay is behind the glove box. Common culprit if you have no power down to the motor.
Ahh! I forgot we were dealing with government surplus....the all too common culprit.As for the blower it's missing completely.
That's one fine motor pool you got there, fuzzytoaster:Today I rolled out the MKT rubber and crawled up under to see the gear selector detached from the transmission.
By the time I bought my K1500 I had read about failing PMDs A LOT. Figured it wouldn't happen to me though. Sure did, shortly after. Got an extension harness and relocated the PMD to inside the front bumper.I've got an ignition tumbler on order as well as a PDM relocation kit. The police chief said it would start, run, and die in that order and it was due to the injection pump harness. I just got the 1st battery off the charger and will see if she wants to breathe fire here in a bit after the rain passes. I hope the PMD isn't toast.
2009 was my first MV purchase and it was all down hill from there. SS members are welcome to visit.That's one fine motor pool you got there, fuzzytoaster:
- How long have you been stocking up the "pantry"?!
The PMD harness extension is already on order. I've not found enough research to decide on which PMD to buy yeteven as a back up. I know it will happen eventually if it's not already on the ropes (thanks Murphy). Any recommendations? I'm monitoring the gauges, looking for leaks, etc. right now so I have to put her to some use instead of idling all day. As of now I have the rear shaft out and have been using her around my motor pool to ferry supplies and jump equipment. She has shut off on me once or twice after a cold start so I have my suspicions. I'm not ready to take her on the road just yet to see how she performs.By the time I bought my K1500 I had read about failing PMDs A LOT. Figured it wouldn't happen to me though.

I now keep a spare PMD in the glove box. I can highly recommend you to do so as well. If the PMD ever fails on you, you'll be able to continue your trip in a matter of minutes.
