    1987 6.9idi won't start

    So terribly sorry for the radio silence. Just a lot going on and haven't seen the truck in over 2 months. The owner had gotten major surgery and is recovering, I don't wanna risk getting the old guy sick or possibly giving him the corona. I haven't forgot about all the advice and I hope to get...

    The Batteries are brand new and fully charged, and we were using the charger to throw more power to it. It's spinning at around 500 RPM. Are the glow plugs a necessity? I thought they were only for the cold?

    1987 6.9idi won't start

    Hello, I have a 1987 Ford F-250 with the 6.9idi engine. The truck hasn't ran in over a year. I replaced the fuel filter and then ran a temporary fuel line from a clean fuel source and primed the system. The fuel filter housing I'd purged of all air and the injection pump has pushed fuel to all...
