It took me years to get the CUCV back together , running and on the road. After a few days of thinking. Maybe the 12v Cummins is best stuck in the 93 K3500 4 door,8ft box truck i have with a bad 6.5L . It's already dead in the water and not being driven. I have to box the rear frame anyhow...

Thanks guys. Good points. Guess it's just a cruiser truck now. I'll just borrow the farms road tractor I guess to move it back and forth.

@ jeepadict, i appreciate your honesty. Well i could leave the CUCV alone and put it in another truck. How about my 1993 K3500 crew cab with the blown up 6.5L ? Or what should i be looking for? Maybe the CUCV is too nice to tear all apart.

I'm not trying to go crazy with power. It currently has the VE pump, just looking into transmission ideas right now. I have a 40Ft camper at 14,500 lbs i'd like to be able to move around if things get where I need to up and move on.

Thought i'd start the tread on my journey to towing 14,500lbs. 12/19/24- purchased 1993 5.9L Cummins with everything but the trans adapter and flywheel. 12/20/24 - realized the Th400 probably won't handle the torque.

I'd like to ad a gooseneck hitch to my CUCV. any help? I have not bought anything yet or know what to get.

Nice truck DIVE DIVE!

Here is pictures from the last month of tinkering on the project.

Your springs frown:( like mine. The picture helps.. That's what I'm trying to go for. Thank you!!!

Hey Skinny, What did you do about the sway bar when you pushed the axle ahead? I'm getting to the point of ordering springs. I just ordered the Zero drops from ORD.

Thanks Guys. Great info. I am mid cab swap right now. I wanted to swap the transmission at the same time. But I think it best to have it rebuilt and tone ring added before I install it anyway. Currently have my hands full with installing a civilian AC equipped cab on a non AC chassis. Just a...

Did you get it working? My 4l80e is missing the output VSS. Kind of at a stand still until i figure out what to do.

If your asking me about the power with the 37's... then its fine for what I do. These day's I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I have a few more little items to fix then get the truck NYSI. The trans is not shifting very well. I hope it's a vacuum leak from sitting around.

Just get one from John @ Hillbilly Wizzard. They sell used ones.
