Who has the most Kilometres/ Miles on their CUCV?

[m1008chevy]

I was just curious who has the most mileage on their none rebuilt 6.2L CUCV? I personally have 272,000 Kilometres on my 1987 M1008, without any major engine work. The only thing that has been changed is the injection pump because it started leaking from the throttle shaft.

 

[Recovry4x4]

My 86/has 118,00 miles on it.

Describe major engine work?

 

[Cantos]

My m1009 has 35000 miles, without trouble. Ok the Flywheel was toothless about 5000miles ago and the vac-pump 1 year ago.

 

[corvette9]

My m1028 has 174095 miles on it right now. No major engine work.

Corvette 9 That Dude M1028 A1 has no minor or major anything. Except every body panel. I bought that in November 1996??? It had 1700.miles on it. Ran hard maintained and never washed except when it rained. Dude has been coast to coast twice. That is an M1028 A1. It earned its A1 rating in 1990. If I remember correctly.

My M1028 was a daily driver for over 12 years.

It made three trips from South Florida to Michigan and back and two trips from South Florida to MD and back.

All the long trips were pulling a trailer with a load.

I have put over 165,000 miles(my miles, not what was already driven by the Military) on this truck with changing the injection pump at around 65,000 miles.

We should do the opposite thread...who has the least miles

My M1031 had about 5k miles on it, truck looked brand new. My M1010 had 3600 miles on it and probably was never washed in the winter.

I'll play the game. Just passed 7k miles in my NOS USMC M1028.

 

[rsh4364]

My 85 1009 shows 99,000 miles but I would guess 199,000.My 86 1009 shows 43,000 miles and I think its fairly close to that.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

My cucv shows almost 55k and runs like a champ. I don't see any evidence of major work and seems to be the original engine.

 

[rsh4364]

Odometers pretty much means nothing on our trucks,the speedo is always off so the the mileage is off too.I would rather see compression test results and oil pressure readings.

Pulling the heads and changing head gaskets, is major work in my opinion. To word it differently, I was just curious to see how long these engines will go with basic maintenance.

Actually my speedo is dead on, comparing it to the GPS on my phone. My truck is completely stock thought, no lift, 4.56 gears, 235 85 16 tires. I have never done a compression test but for oil pressure, after the engine is at operating temperature: 40 PSI at idle and 60 PSI at anything above 60kph or 40mph.

 

[Smokinyoda]

Original engine/speedo or not, speedo will only tell you how far it has been driven. Not how many hours it has idled because an 18 year old kid was cold or just to lazy to turn it off. ( And yes I can say this because I was once that 18 year old.)

Rick you need to start another thread about compression checks. I doubt if many guys here or anywhere ever took the time to do a compression check. I never checked never checked the compression on any CUC/V's I owned. I would say 90% of the people that own vehicles don't check the compression. If it runs it runs if not then diagnose and fix it. I have never had to check compression number 1 I don't own a compression gauge. No 2 if these engines don't have enough compression they will not start and run. As far as oil pressure if the engine is not tapping and wrapping I never checked that either. I have put 2 oil pressure gauges in my CUCV/V's. Both were just for novelty items. I ran DUDE M1028A1 173 K Bone stock. Never even added a radio. And I want to add this also. I never changed a harmonic balancer on any CUC/V I ever owned or serviced. Call me lucky or just say. If it is not broken don't fix it or if it works why mess with it. I found that the less you change and the more you just maintain the longer the entire vehicle any vehicle for that part will last and you will have less issues to deal with. I am a rubber mat/crank window type of guy. OK I said my piece. thank you. Have a great day.

 

[Bethelfire]

1985 about 87,000 miles. New injection pump, alt's, fly wheel and starter.

 

[donalloy1]

My 86 O9 shows 32,785.1 and I think Odometer may not have been rolled over? I am going for least vs. most! Replaced Starter, GP Controller & GP Relay twice, IP, all GP's. Pops right off!

 

[2002ford]

I have a m1010 with 388 miles. Unfortunately it needs an injection pump. The belts are original with primer in the grooves of the pulleys. The general concensus is the tires are original.
