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.

Now I'm getting worried that I didn't put enough or put too much. No one has bid yet and it's down to less than 24 hours. :tin hat:

Thanks! Since you found it, what do you think about the ad? Anything you would add or photos you'd like to see? I don't mind an honest critique.

2000. With all the trimming. Leather, CD, TV, all power. It's a pretty sweet ride.

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:

12, 10, 9, 3. There will be no more children in this house, by God! 4 is way too many as is. :razz:

: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? Signature: Members may use the signature spot at the bottom of their post to list their name, location, vehicles owned, etc… Members may not use their signature block for the sale of items (Truck for Sale! Or Deuce Hard Tops...

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....
