    I'm sure my glow plugs should be replaced too (on my list) but i can see fuel leaking from the IP seals near where the high idle solenoid sits. The fuels leaks down the bottom and drips off the bell housing., which from what i read here is text book IJ pump seals. Check the area near the...

    One thing I would like to do myself with some help would be to replace my injector pump. Mine has a leak so takes me a few tries and get the huge clouds of white smoke as she cranks, but after 3-4 tries, she'll turn over. From what I've read up on and watched video's on, it doesn't look like...

    I got all the lights and horn working finally and have been driving her around all weekend. I was working at the gun show out in Chantilly this weekend and used her to transport all my firearms (will hopefully have a 416 in 2 weeks, so that will be even better) to the show all weekend...

    Well, i suppose after a super great day, I was due for a bad one. I'm noticing that my turn signals are no longer working. I went ahead and replaced the flasher, and tried the turn signal, it flashed once, then died again. My headlights work fine, but turn signals and hazard lights dont...

    Today, on the holiest of holy days, after 7 months and a Vermont registration later, I now have a straight clean Virginia title in hand for my baby. Only took another 3 hours from my life today at DMV, then the notary, then back to DMV but finally walked out with title in hand (plates coming in...

    Kinda. I ended up hiring a young mechanic doing side work and paid him 100 bucks to swap my starter out - truck immediately turned over. Now that I'm all recovered from covid, I need to get my injector pump replaced, so was thinking of looking for someplace. i heard that Tactical Truck has...

    Can anyone in NoVA recommend a mobile mechanic or maybe a hobbyist who is looking for some side work familiar with the CUCV's? Right now I want to get my new starter and alternators installed. That will dictate my next move. If she cranks, I will want to replace glow plugs, injectors, etc -...

    Also, FYI you could always claim your trailer has been abandoned on your property. If you do that, you can submit thru DMV to take possesion of the abandoned trailer on your property and obtain a title. The process is laid on the DMV website and may be a easy viable solution for you to get a...

    I ended up using cartitles.com to get me Vermont paperwork all worked up so I can register my CUCV in VT, then take the VT registration to the VA DMV and have them convert that VT registration into a VA title. VT does not title vehicles over 15 years old, so you only get registration and tags...

    I have been nothing but nice whe Did you have an SF-97 or just a bill of sale? Did you fill out a VSA-12 Affidavit in lieu of title? I'm looking for an apples to apples comparison in terms of what paperwork is required. If a SF-97 is present, then they should present a title without...

    Can anyone here possibly give me some insight on how you titled your vehicle in VA? I have a 85 CUCV that I purchased at auction from southern IL. The previous owner was a small town police dept who's former police chief got several old military surplus vehicles (don't know from where exactly...
