Looking for CUCV

[rob love]

Just a guess here Gilles, but I suspect ignorance is bliss. The CUCV will be controlled. Heck, even SMP trailers are now controlled, with no sales to non-US citizens. Even the old pattern M-16 bayonet now needs end user certs, and no non-US sales.

The multi level layers of controls may not be known by your car dealer, and perhaps may or may not be known by the Border patrol, who now do exit checks on many days. We just came back from the MVPA convention with a truck full of Jeep parts, and the border guy was asking what year the jeeps were.

A bit of a side note, but I was told by a guy at Wpg R&D a few months back, that the MLVWs starters and oil coolers were controlled goods. I now notice that Prefair is selling MLVWs lacking those two parts. And yet, I am pretty sure that anything green on those trucks (lights, gages etc,) will be controlled as well.

Not all CUCVs have a EUC, my new M1031had no EUC when sold at GL. Don't forget not all CUCVs are sold by GL some are sold by Govt Surplus and nothing there requires a EUC not even a M35. GL is not the only place that sells govt surplus vehicles.
All the dealers sell to Canadians, no matter what the vehicle. I have 6 MVs in my yard from a M1010 CUCV to a M816 wrecker and they came from the US and no EUC hassle. The biggest thing is , if you want a vehicle buy from a dealer not from a private individual. If you look at Steel Soldiers you will see that prices have increased dramatically, the M35 has gone from about $2500 to $4500 in less than a year and you get the EUC hassle. I don't buy from individuals only from dealers and in the end I have gotten a better truck at a better price.
As to the MLVWs, they have always been sold w/o starters and oil coolers and in some provinces i.e. NL, no radiators. The items are a controlled item in that DND has classified them as "B" class items, order one, return the old one. When I purchased my MLs they had no starters, I went to a local rebuild shop and bought a brand new 24V starter that fits on the ML for $400, DND paid over $900 for the same starter. As to the oil coolers the are harder to get as they are obsolete at Detroit Diesel, I found and bought 20 oil coolers from the US and I am sitting on them waiting for the next batch of trucks to come on the market.
This week I won 5 tri walls of ML parts on Crown Asset and they are going into my reserve. The parts are being sold before the trucks.
