I have a battery drain DOH! ....I think that the ignition is not killing power to something in the steering column, if I put on one of the blinkers I can hear it blink. No lights come on or anything when blinker is on (key off) and everything seems to work fine when ingnition is on...well, it's...
Indirect injection is the reason for such low power in the 6.2 and ford motor
The 6.2 CUCV setup is made to run...not alot of turn on/off like a newer vehicle that you get groceries with. Thier great trucks and I would recommend buying one for the parts value alone if 50/55 doesn't bother you.:-P
I was reading an article in diesel power magazine and it left me with a few questions? I did some searches and didn't really conclude much.
First off the article says not to use the "C" engine (pre-85)...instead use the "J" model which is what I have heard is in the military CUCV's.

I have to say that this is an intermittent problem and i'd just like to know if theres anything other than the lift pump(new) and IP that are canidates for failure... thanks again
It's definately the castor as pointed out. You shimmed for driveline angle and added nagative offset wheels that BOTH changed the "scrub radius". If you are serious about fixing it you can have an offroad specialty shop cut and turn the knuckles to reset the castor and point the pinion wherever...
When I first hit the throttle there is a flat spot where nothing happens and then it goes fine....it's like the first 1/2 inch of pedal there's a BOG that is noticeable....what gives:?: Thanks everyone:!:
No, it is not important to switch the posts...I speak from experience
Some of the smarter electrical minds on this site have contributed to my truck being fixed!
as far as preventitive measure on your GP card....i'm not aware there is any other than make sure terminals are clean
It sounds...
