Hello guys and gals, just registered on this forum and I am glad i found it. I have alot of questions and I am sure I will have alot more if i ever win a bid on GL..lol Basically its with the CUCV m1009. I found one on GL and I read here that some of you have experience purchasing from them. Is it a strait forward process? Was a title readilly available to you when you presented the money due? I e-mailed them through the GL site but as of yet still no reply. My budget is around 1500 bucks. I have seen some in piss poor shape sell for that much but I am looking for a CUCV with a complete interior. Body doesnt matter as long as the floor boards are there i will be happy. Sheet metal is cheap finding a new interior on ebay is not..lol I just hope i win out on this auction. (keeps fingers crossed)
My question is other then the obvious flush tranny, change oil, change injectors inspect front end what else should i inspect? Are there problem areas to look for? Is the 24/12v reliable? I know many people have converted to 12v to save on the banks but is it worth it? Hows the 4x4 reliable? lockers ever give an issue?
How is the MPG? I have read anywhere from 20-29 possible. Does it have enough balls to move itself adequately? 135hp doesnt seem like much to move such a heavy vehicle even with the 3:08 gears. How are replacement parts? Costly? I read that it has no egr provisions will it still pass a smog test? I live in MA and this vehicle must pass the sniffer inorder to be registered. Thanks again!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
