Use a simple cable pull at the dash to kill the pump... and if you retain the vacuum pump, you can get a rebuild kit if pump needs it instead of replacing the pricey pump. How's the oil pan chop looking? 'Tanner'

Nice! Somebody got a new textbook for Christmas! :mrgreen: 'Tanner'

I'm not sure that the MVPA is all that interested in anything more than parade and static display status these days - that appears to be the vibe. And the ATHS will most likely give a sympathetic ear, but waffle on assisting, as they aren't running into the ex-MV issues, as far as I've read.

Pictures, or it never happened... :-D 'Tanner'

The rules - good ones and bad ones - are written by lawyers. Meaning that they leave lots of 'gray areas' open for interpretation. If someone in power along the way said 'no titling of ex-MV's due to non-compliance on safety/emissions, etc', then that is what you're up against. Does said...

I seem to recall hearing in years past that one of the reasons that people were shying away from M35A3's was partially due to newness of the trucks & titling issues from lack of 17-digit VIN? I hope that you can come to a mutual agreement with the state on this, but I remind people that you...
