longest trip in a cucv

[pwrwagonfire]

I went from Erving, Mass to Foxboro, Mass in an M1008 last year....according to mapquest that is 89.44 miles, and boy did every one of those SUCK on the interstate!

 

[91W350]

Salt Lake City to Boulder Colorado to Salina Kansas in two days in my M1009, a little over 1000 miles in a vehicle I had never seen until I arrived in Salt Lake City shortly after midnight, I drove it to Boulder on the same day I first heard it run.

We took the M1008 to Jefferson City Mo to pick up the first M1009. That was just over 1000 miles in one day, we left early and made it home before 2200.

Geocaching I had a couple of 1200 mile weekends in the M1008 before I bought the first M1009. Bud Boy and I had a great time!

We have made several weekend trips to the Lake of the Ozarks, about 750 miles around trip. I would be willing to take them about anywhere. Glen

Have driven it about 150 miles so far is the furthest. The hills were painful between second and third gear at 45 mph hopefully a new injection pump will help.


On flat ground it is fine minus no A/C in phoenix in the summer

I drove from Moab, Ut to Denver, Co (375 miles) in my 1986 M1009 in six hours on a really hot day in mid-July. There were no problems and is was not too uncomfortable with the driver's window open. The Rocky Mountain section was interesting because it lost some power near the top at about 11,000 feet. The power returned when I drove down to lower elevations.

I did 600 miles round trip while hauling a truck for a buddy of mine. Averaged about 15-16 mpg

You can see alot at 55. I enjoy my trips at that speed either in the M1008 or the deuce. As far as I see it, folks can be ticked off. At least I don't do 55 in any other lanes!

I love ridding in a Duece at 50...the perfect speed....
