I have to get the CUCV rebuilt. The tranny I was going to use from a donor has burnt fluid. I was thinking about rebuilding it myself, but don't have time. I'm either going to have it rebuilt locally or order a built tranny from out of state. Need to install and have a new rear driveline built.
too many little things on the Hummer to list, if optempo stays up (and it likely will) I won't have the time or energy to fix them.
