I have one thing to guess from afar. Did you ever look carefully at the feed line (rubber hose) at the fuel pump. Is your feed line touching the frame and does it have a small wear/tear in it where the fuel pump feed line may have rubbed thru or was cut by worn out motor mounts? Check carefully. The rubber feed line should not be in contact with the front cross member. Do you have motor mounts? Check them closely. i have had this issue more then once on different CUCV's. Good Luck. Check back.
I was able to scooch that around a little bit so I tighten the clamp on it and then I pulled the return line and the check valve I couldn't blow through either end of the check valve with the glass ball in it

Yes it can run but poorly and act up at different times. Did you check the rubber feed line I mentioned?
It doesn't run poorly it either does or it doesn't I just got it fired back up after cleaning out the check ball it's getting kind of dark out now I will check that out in the morning when I have daylight if you look at the videos that I have posted you can see it operating perfectly

The videos do not help me to look at things I am mentioning. It is NOT running perfect or you would not be asking for help. Help my trucks running perfect. Tell it to stop running so good. NOT the case. It has issues. We are here to help resolve that.

The bottom line on the mechanical pump looked a little crappy so I wiped it off I got the truck running again it ended up being wet after a couple of minutes so I ended up cutting a little bit of the hose off and put a new clamp on it, so the fuel pump bottom line is resealed the fuel filter has been resealed with new clamps the feed line to the injector pump had been read tightened I got the truck running again and I'm letting it idle in the parking lot while I eat my lunch

......No offense, but your Truck is over time to repair it with seafoam, wd40, cutting ends of off rubber lines and exchange one brake cylinder.
It's time to exchange the one or another thing.
If I read correctly, you need your truck........so, now is the time to do the right things or ride your horse to death.
Again, no offense,
just my 2 cent's

I don't have a lot of free time to work on the truck and right now can only replace what's broken..not necessarily parts that still function.. i only get about 4 days off a month...
