I'm in full agreement with you on the price. Sounds like you also have to be careful what transmission version you get plus need to be able to do programming after install. I don't know how to do that at this point but sure would like a 6 speed vs the 4 speed. I'm looking for a late model...

The 4.56 axles should work well with either a 6L80E or a TR6060 without the need to also change the axles. Yes, a bit faster on the high endwith the 4.10 but I think a top speed of 85-90 is plenty for a truck this size. If I just change the axles i'd be getting about 50 mph in top gear with...

Mike, I missed this on the first pass for some reason. The CUCV's are PASSENGER SIDE drop for the transfer case. I'm still looking for a better highway speed and think something in the .65-.63 range would be best. Are you having any luck with an OD transmission? My wife wants it to be an...

So, 2 more years gone by and no word on the truck! Is it complete, running?

I have pulled the ambulance beds, steel racks in front of the beds, diesel heater and rolling seat for medic. Probably too far to ship to CA but they are available. I am installing a second 20 gal fuel tank now and looking into OD options as 55 at red line is too slow.

I'm thinking I would have bought a gas truck if I wanted gas besides my engine only has 19K miles on it but I hear you. The LS would be quieter for sure.

Seems nothing is going to be cheap on this build. But then price a Mercedes 4x4 diesel camper. Very not cheap.

Thanks, very nice write up and lots of good info. I have a M1010 and plan on using the factory compressor mount for the cabin via either a chevy A/C from a donar vehicle or a vintage air. The VA looks nice. Do you like it and how it works? For the back I am going to pull the factory a/c and...

Have you completed this upgrade yet?

Is that an A/C system you have in your CUCV? If so, how does it work and who made it?

Have you got some pictures of your partial and completed walls and ceiling?

I agree its a good idea but that's a pretty pricey modification. Seems you could do it with $80-100 in parts DIY style. Is that a Hummer crossover in the pictures?

From what I have read, the 6L90E has a larger shaft then the 6L80E. The 6L80E has the 32 spline like the NP-208, NP-241 and NP-242 and I am sure you could convert the NP-205 to work also but a bit pricier. A newer, not sure of the years yet, with VSS output might be helpful for the electronic...

From what I have read on other sites the 6 bolt P side drop case will fit the 6L80 transmission. I think it said you need to be sure your case has a 32 spline input and may have to cut the shaft off some but was fairly easy to do. I'm still looking. The only other alternative I have found is...

Maybe a divorced transfer case would work. The truck is long enough for that I think....? The low first would make it easy to start out but I wonder if the power of the 6.2 would even push it on level road in 6th? I've only l run this engine with the TH-400 trans and it did fine in my M1009...

That OD would give me a 54 mph speed at 1800 rpm which is too slow for the highway. That's why I'm asking about 6 speeds. What about the 6L80E transmission?

Looking for a viable transmission for my M1010. Like the grunt of the 4.56 gears but need to do highway speeds also as I want to travel with Oliver. Has anyone put a TR-6060 in a CUCV yet? How does it do? Top speed? MPG?

I had a lightning issue from the minute I bought my CUCV. No lights were working. Inadvertently left the headlight switch on and the lights came on at about 0500 in the morning. I played with it some and they started working again and I had no trouble for a few months while I was working on...

Follow up on post #1 above,,,,,,,The lights have been working fine for 3.5 months now but while driving the other day I noticed that the dash blinker display lights were not working and upon further investigation I found all the lights in-op. I drove home carefully and proceeded to investigate...
