Hey guys I'm new to the forum i had a question rolling around my head and that was "was there ever a 2nd gen dodge cucv?" I found some photos. I was wondering if it came through or did it fail?

I don't think so. I have not seen one around here so I don't think they are anywhere else

From what I heard they had this suspension setup that would always make the truck level so going on the side of the hill you are level. Pretty neat setup. But I don't think it made it into production as a cucv.

The first 1976/1977 M880s were not well regarded by the troops and had plenty of reliability issues.

O ok i get it now. Yea those did not hold up well. Allot of people talk about how the dodge m880s did not hold up very well. If I remember right the 2nd gen dodge military truck also known as the "combatt ram" was a diesel electric hybrid. It had a 5.9 cummins. But it was a auto trans. The auto trans broke mid way through testing which caused it to fail. But the suspension they put under the combatt ram was built for rock crawling. I'd love to have the same suspension setup under my 1982 chevy c10/k20 frankentruck

If it would've made it some people could rob the suspension out from under it and put it under a cucv with Rockwell axles. Then with the 5.9 out of the "combatt ram" with a p pump it could be a serious off road truck
