If I owned a Duece then I'd have to search threads on this forum to defend more poor choice of vehicle, kind of like this thread.....

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Why would I want a 80's diesel GM?
Deuce is a truck that works, and has very few civilian equivalents.
If you want a MV and can't get a real one, I guess a CUCV works.

I like the tires comment, heck, I just spent $3500 for tires on my '109 van = more than my CUCV is worth. Well maybe close 8<)

And the Detroit in the back of the CUCV is a better design then the "Hot Air Locker" being discussed elsewher on the site.

I love how you guys bash the CUCV Starting issues/ Electrical Issues. Maybe the problem is operator error. All my 3 cucvs have been great. I would say 99% percent of the problem are the people working on them.

The best part of owning a CUCV is that I don't have CUCV envy. So I don't have to come into the CUCV forum and post in their threads about how crappy the CUCV is, when the truth is that I really want one.

I love mine and frankly, the hybrid electrical system is the best part.

The best part of owning a cucv, is that you know where a WHEEL CHOCK is when you need to work your BIG truck

Think it's another GM product that is a little more road oriented. Or it's a vessel of the French Navy.
Or both.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this... How about the short shelf life of the 6.2's injection pump? No thanks...

100,000 miles. Can a Deuce even make it that far?

Yup.
100,000 miles or so and it is $375 to replace.
How long will and LDT go, and how much to replace. Has a whole LDT ever made it 100,000, much less the pump?

I know, mine is only 26 years old, and already starting to act up...
But I do enjoy 200 amps of pure battery charging delight...

I have 3 CUCVs and 2 Deuces. They each have their places. My CUCV is my every day driver and does the job very well. For heavy hauling or ultimate cool factor the Deuce rules.

The yello thing is an 80's gull wing kit car, a Bradley GT2, electric powered.
