Mine are wired as driving lights currently which will be fixed as quick as possible.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sounds like the same issue I had when the IP went out. The o rings just started to fall apart and the pieces were clogging it up. New IP was put in my the mechanic and good as new.Had it towed home on sunday. Loss power out on the road and it shut off. Was able to restart it and get it on to a side street then it died again. Changed the fuel filter as mines a civi 6.2 and put on a new one, and cranked away to no avail. So now it sits in my side yard.
Ran some errands today,kept smelling a whiff of antifreeze,got home popped hood no leaks.Turn truck off look under hood again,steam rising up from left tank on radiator,Great, new radiator in future.Received rebuilt IP today,not sure I want to tackle this on my own for first time.Changed thermostat and upper hose,switched KC Highlite lenses from offroad long range to fog lenses,much nicer.Still kept 100w bulbs and no one flashes brights at me.
Could be lift pump,mine did this once,the rubber line actually squeezed off in front of pump and starved motor of fuel.After this I put fuel pressure gauges before filter and after,makes it easy to diagnose.Had it towed home on sunday.

Ok here is some info and some basic measurements that should help someone install one of these cranes on a CUCV.Very! That sounds like a next summer project for me.
Start cheap,fuel lines checked to make sure not pinched off,new lift pump,a fuel press. gauge helps.Maybe fuel sock in tank plugged?For fuel press.gauges I use Mr.Gasket# 1560 mounted inline from pump and#1561 screwed into spin on filter housing on exit side,this way I know if fuel pump going out or if psi drops on output side the filter is plugging up.Hrm so I should start by testing the lift pump? This truck did sit for about 4 years. Only 1k miles since 2009. I got it from the original owner.
Check ot the Hella#003427291 lights,love them and take a replacable bulb,can also get some high watt bulbs for them.Driving lights, like these LEDs I had in my headlights.
The light that came out the lens was terrible in my opinion, so put the original lights back in.
