Kinda forgot about that. I read also that that fuse powers the horn and the courtesy light fuse too.
Just for the heck of it has anybody used their multimeter to read the amperage of that fuse while everything in on. Everything, the headlights, blinkers, foot on the break, horn on, courtesy...
This part sounds like your getting air in your fuel and/or losing prime. Mine was doing the exact same thing a while back. Check your fuel filter base, fuel hoses and clamps (especially the one going into the IP in the engine valley), the return hoses and the return check valve coming out of the...
So since your switching a relay with the headlight switch and not the lights directly that would decrease the current flow ( amperage) through the switch, correct?
Is this also going to decrease the amps through the headlight fuse in the fuse box?
I think the electrical system is the hardest for people to figure out. I learn something new everytime I work on my CUCV.
I also feel that most of the CUCV's electrical problems can be avoided with careful maintenance and certain upgrades like the doghead relay, a heavy duty headlight harness...
There has been covered a thousand times.
Look up the part number in the TM and start Googling. Theres a for sale/want to buy section on the forum here. Did you try that? Theres a lot of CUCV owners here, maybe someone has one.
What burned up on it? If it was me, I would deal with it, take it...
Like Warthog said, it's a 25+ year old truck. 100% reliability is not gonna happen.
On the positive note, they really aren't that bad to work on. If you've wrenched on cars and trucks before, learning the CUCV's electrical systems and diesel driveline wont be that bad. You do have the TM's to...
I'm agreeing with Sharecropper and Prairie.
Just take it off. Don't be scared to, all the sway bar does is help minimize body roll during cornering. With leaf springs in the front the body roll is already small.
If you don't like it without it you can always put it back on.
I like how on the actual page for the 6.2l pump they have in red bold print, and I quote,
"PENSACOLA DIESEL IS NOT A AUTHORIZED STANADYNE SHOP AND WE DO NOT WISH TO BE!"
I wanna trust that I'm getting a quality product when I spend my hard earned cash. This does nothing to assure me of that.
