    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    I understand downshifting. I own four registered motor vehicles. My CUCV is the only one with an automatic transmission. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Instead of brakes or with breaks? When you are traveling slow enough selecting a lower gear to regulate speed is different than down shifting to reduce speed. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    My '86 1028A2 will float into third at 25 with no load. Towing it holds second until about 35. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Okay, mine will drop into third at about 25 when I'm running light and on the flat. It will then downshift if I tip the throttle a bit when it hits a hill. All as smooth as the '74 Caddy I once had. Put a load on and the shifts get a lot firmer. The TH400 is a great transmission. Only drawbacks...

    I never downshift manually. That's just a bad idea under load. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    Sorry about that. I much prefer "LA" over MS. That's "LA" as in Lower Alabama or Louisiana...and NOT Los Angeles. A turbo would definitely help as would finding a buyer for my house in CT. Once the house sells I might, probably, have money to buy the turbocharger. Sent from my SCH-I545 using...

    Between southeast Tennessee and northeast Connecticut I hit 3 to 5 grades that put me in second gear. If I'm not paying attention there are a few more places. I try to pick up speed on the approach. The mountains of Virginia on I81 are very different than southern Mississippi.[emoji558] Sent...

    I agree, but my little five speed for banger car doesn't tow very well. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    50-55mph max in my M1028A2. I will run it up to 65 when approaching a grade when towing to avoid dropping into second. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Moth Balls may help displace the cats. Beyond that there are hunting and trapping options. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Wasps! Anybody else have problems with them making nests?

    Mine was fine 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I own the door and the dirty red commie wasp had at me. I was armed with spray and got him on the wing. Then I went around filling all the usual spots with spray. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
