Hello all,
My new to me 1992 HDJ81 cut power on me today while going up a fairly steep incline. I was in 4LO, centre diff locked, just crawling up to see how high I could get. Once we got really steep, the engine cut out. I had 3/4 tank of diesel. I backed down about 50 feet with no engine, power brakes or steering. And it fired right up again. No problems all the way home. Any one have any ideas as to why this happened? I was thinking low fuel on the incline could cause the pickup to go dry, but we weren't crawling for more than 10 seconds before this happened, and there should be waaay more fuel in the lines/pump for it to run dry after just 10-15 seconds of steep incline.
Thanks in advance.
1992 HDJ81, 234K, Marks partime 4wd, triple locked, auto, 265/75/15 stockers.
