    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Yep, after I shut off the truck I couldn’t move it for about 3 mins, but the brake system eventually lost pressure and I was able to push it again.

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Hey all. Huge update. I went out this morn, and was wondering if I left the truck running and tried pushing in neutral, would it roll. Well, it didn’t. I pulled the vacuum off the brake booster, and what do you know, I was able to push the truck back. Went down to Oreilys and picked up a new...

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Hey all, sorry I didn’t explain it better earlier. Both front and rear tires spin by hand when up in the air. I can also push the truck (in neutral) pretty easily. I haven’t tried to power the front wheels, but the back turn with engine power (while up in the air) I will look at brakes a little...

    It would stall out if I completely let off the clutch while on the ground. With the rear in the air, it doesn’t stall, tires will just spin.

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Honestly, it feels like the truck is chained down. It torques like it wants to go, but just sits there. The rear tires spin when in the air and Im pushing on the accelerator with the truck running.

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    The truck sat for about 5 years. Don’t know the history before that except the previous owner rebuilt the engine before passing away. I put a new IP, new injectors, new glow plugs, new tanks (front and rear), new tank selector valve and switch, new lines all around. Haven’t touched the brakes...

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Hi guys. I’m having an issue. I got the truck running great. Figured it was time to try and move it. Transfer case is in 2H, in both reverse and 1st, the truck feels like the brakes are locked up. All tires spin freely in neutral, so I wouldn’t think brakes are the issue. I put rear end on jacks...

    7.3 idi starts, runs, and then dies

    Hey guys, found the issue. The fuel tank selector valve is no good. It’s stuck shut. So even though I had it hooked up to an auxiliary tank, the return line was blocked off. Too much pressure in the system was keeping the injection pump from doing its job. Snipped the return line and ran it to...

    7.3 idi starts, runs, and then dies

    Hey fellas (and fellettes). I’m having an issue with my truck. It starts, runs for about 5 seconds, and then dies. So it’s probably being starved of fuel. here’s some info on the truck: - sat for about 5 years - new IP (stock) - new lift pump (oem mech one) - redid the return fuel lines -...

    Yeah, it’s not too bad. Great hiking! But the 115+ degree summer days get real old real quick. But hey, that’s what a/c is for.
