called autozone and getting a pump for $27. Think the next thing on the list is a clutch kit being as it's jerky taking off plus a new radiator and thermostat.

My clutch kit was $180. Only use the Ford thermostat. New rad is roughly $350. Good luck brother.

So sorry to learn of your grandfathers passing. My thoughts are with you and your family at a time like this. The truck and this site can wait. Just take your needed time to help others in the family get thru this. Again... Very sorry to hear of this sad news.

Sorry for your loss brother. I lost my grandfather in 2003. About a month after I returned from overseas. That was really rough time.

went to try to start it tonight with fresh batteries. Still nothing. bled the lines, nothing. The engine seems to have alot of drag now. It started dragging that one night i had mom crank while i sprayed one shot of ether. She let go of the key before it had a chance to start and then started cranking again

 

[86ford69]

Sounds like maybe the starter now bub.

 

[6.5dieselman]
