I've got an 87 6.9 truck that sat for 10 years and I'm slowly working the bugs out of.
Main problem is this: the truck WILL NOT start off the key, but WILL roll start within a few feet. Sometimes it will start off the key after its warmed up, but only if you just shut it off for a minute or two. Now, with that being said, does anyone know if low oil pressure will shut these trucks down??? The factory gauge doesn't work (whether bad gauge or bad sender) but the aftermarket wet line gauge shows 25lb or so usually when it's cold. I have not tried to start it with a jumper wire to the FSV yet. So does anyone have a clue as to why it runs great just wont start off the switch?
Some other minor issues are: fuel gauge doesn't work, wipers are stuck upright and the radio picks and choses when to work. Also the front wheels are slanted in really bad.....I assume some new balljoints and an alignment are the way to fix that? It's a 4x4.
THANKS!!!
