    How to Jump Start CUCV

    I feel really silly asking this, but I’d rather ask a silly question than make a huge mistake. I’m a new owner and still learning; I have a 1985 CUCV and I realized I left the floodlight on after it was parked.

    CUCV Oil/Fuel Leak

    CUCV Mechanic in Southern California??

    Hi 1love, I have an oil leak. One mechanic has it now, he wants to see if it’s possibly the head gaskets. I’d love to find a great mechanic to do any and all work. It’s been a challenge to find someone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CUCV Oil/Fuel Leak

    Thank you for all of your input. Another mechanic is looking at it today. One discussion has been head gaskets. We will have to see about all of that. In the end more investigating needs to be done. I’ll update again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CUCV Oil/Fuel Leak

    I have a 1985 CUCV and there is a leak, which I’m not sure if it’s oil or fuel. Pardon my uncertainty, I’m not a mechanic or even very mechanically inclined. I thank you for any input. I just had the valve cover gaskets redone (RTD), as well as an oil pressure gauge installed. I wonder if...
