95 7.3 , UPDATE!!!! It's Running!!!!!
This truck has sat and not been cranked for about two years. Batteries are holding charge, turn key and the starter solenoid just thumps. With that we are going to pull the starter off today and check it. Assuming Starter is good (or bad and we replace) and we still get nothing, what would be the next thing to check? Please bear in mind, 1) I am female (have mechanical ability) and 2) my previous truck was a 91 with the 7.3 IDI so not all that familiar with the PS . Still hoping that the starter is the issue. In turning the key on, the glow plugs and GP regulator seem to be working properly.
UPDATE: Two New Batteries, New Starter had to prime the oil pump and new tires! Picking it up from the mechanic this afternoon!
