    (WA) To 'Collector Vehicle' or not?

    Well, to update the situation...... Walked into Pierce County Auditor's office/annex with plates and 2000's tabs. The lady behind the counter took 2 minutes to verify they were the correct color, and gave me a new registration showing they were permanent, no renewal, and ......no tabs...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    changed the oil and dropped the trans pan/drained/replaced filter on the M1010. Weird thing is... there was almost no odor from the trans fluid, and it was still a reddish pink, with almost no particles on the magnet in the pan... But, it had been sitting for at least 6 years so, out it went...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    My M1010 LIVES! Good/Bad. Took it to a shop, had them go over it with a fine tooth comb... They got it started... The IP had some crud it in, some stuck seals, and a leaking seal. They didn't R&R the IP because I told them not to. It's got a tiny leak at the throttle line, but I was told it...

    Diesel additives

    If it's filtered properly, yes. I use a filtration system comprised of descending filters, from 30 micron to 1 micron, and run it through twice, before I dump it into my tank. I run 50% WMO, as an additive, hehehe.... cuts my diesel fuel consumption in half and doubled my MPG on D2! :D Now...

    3.73s in my m1009. OMG. It's like a new truck. I can actually merge into traffic, get off the line, change lanes, etc. I can tell it's revving higher but I can't help my foot...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Figured out why my M1010 was cranking so slow... The guy who is rebuilding it said it's probably dragging on the coils(?) too.... Also noticed the solenoid wire had been cut and soldered back together, and one of the mounts on the starter was crushed..Which tells me someone pulled the starter...

    (WA) To 'Collector Vehicle' or not?

    Says tabs aren't required, and says "A restored license plate is a Washington-issued license plate that was designed for use in the year of the vehicle’s manufacture." A strict view would mean that only from that year. A common sense rule would mean that it must use a plate series during that...

    surplus radio

    .Gov doesn't mess around with Type 1 crypto. Had a guy on another forum YEARS ago try and ID a part # that wasn't listed anywhere. It wasn't listed because the part # was a restricted gov only item. Those of us who knew, told the guy it didn't exist *wink*, don't mess with it, burn it in the...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Each base is different..but generally..yes I used two L brackets. They're bolted together. I screwed one bracket to the firewall then measured and screwed the second bracket in...using self tapping screws. Then the other line bracket was bolted to the ones on the firewall. So it's now a U...

    (WA) To 'Collector Vehicle' or not?

    Yes. From what I understand..you're still issued collector plates..but it's noted on your registration that the other plates are optional.
