    Keep Military OEM or change scheme looking for advice.

    New Owner of CUCV

    keep it stock, get the TM's and never run it out of fuel,

    Need CUCV info

    My advice is do not buy one that has been played with a lot , trucks like that are only trouble , get a nice original truck that way the TM's will be of help to you , other wise buy a crystal ball with a truck that has been "improved"
