Info on the GM CUCV’s below………..

TheGM CUCVs were produced in the 1983-86 time period (model years were 1984-87 andmostly 1984) and were powered by 6.2L DetroitDiesel V8 engine. The GM CUCVswere assembled mostly from the heaviest duty bits and pieces from the lightcommercial truck lines. The CUCVs came in four basic body styles: pickup,utility, ambulance body and chassis cab. The M1008 was the basic cargo truck,the M1010 was the ambulance and the M1009 ¾-ton utilityrig, which was a stripped Blazer uprated to 3/4-ton capacity. With theexception of the M1009, the trucks were all rated as 1¼ton (commonly called a “five-quarter”), even though some of them had payloadsin excess of that. In the truck lines there were some heavy duty variants, toinclude the M1028, M1028A1, M1028A2 and M1028A3 shelter carriers, the shelterbeing a mobile command, communications or intelligence operations enclosure.The M1031 was the chassis cab which was most commonly found in the two doorversion. These latter trucks were all rated for heavier 3,600 or 3,900 poundloads, vs. the M1008s 2,900 pound load capacity. The M1028A2 and A3 models haddual rear wheels. Many M1028s were upgraded at the company level to M1028A2 andA3 specs. The Dual wheel rear end was a result of incidents where the M10128flipped on its side because of the high center of gravity when carrying theequipment shelters.--

Powertrain

All the CUCVs were powered by GM’s6.2L J-series DetroitDiesel V8 engine non-emissionsdiesel. These were rated at 155 hp (116 kW) and 240 lb·ft (325 N·m), which was5 hp (3.7 kW) more than the emissions diesel engine of the time. They were allequipped with the TH-400 automatic. All but the M1028A1 and M1031 used theNP-208 chain drive transfer case. The M1028A1 and M1031 units had a slip-yokerear output version of the NP-205, which was specified mainly for its PTOcapacity.

Axles

The M1009 Blazer used 10-bolt axles(front and rear) featuring 3.08:1 gears. The rear axle was equipped with an Eaton Automatic Differential Lock (ADL) with the front being a standard opendifferential. The M1008 trucks used open Dana 60 front axles, with the M1028 and M1031 variations often having aTrac-Lok limited slip. In the rear, the M1008s used the GM 10.5-inch (270 mm) 10.5\" Corporate 14 Bolt Differential with No-Spin lockers (the commercial trade name for the DetroitLocker). Though the M1028A2 and A3 duallies have Dana 70 HD axles. Axle gear ratios were 4.56:1.

Electrical

As with other military vehicles, theCUCVs used a 24-volt electrical system. It was actually a hybrid 12/24-voltsystem that used 24-volts under the hood, complete with dual 100 ampalternators, the mandatory NATO slave receptacle for jump starting any NATOvehicle, and hookups for military radios. The rest of the truck was 12-volt.
