Yes it really is a pretty good old truck 1986 with a 7.3 Idi F350 the best thing about this truck is it's a Crew Cab, and has very little rust.
I rebuilt the 7.3 in about 2007. And I pulled the C6 and put a T18 in it the T18 went bad and that's why I parked it.
It has been sitting since about 2013. I did start it once since then about four years ago.
Just got started building our house and like most of you don't have time for everything we would like to do.
So now I got some time to work on it and got it in the shop . Got The old fuel out of the lines. Put new batteries on her. Battery charger running, also put clear plastic line from the filter housing to the return lines.
Cranked on this thing quite a bit about 20 seconds at a of time and I am getting some vapor out of the intake. Squirting at the number one injector. And it's starting to hit some. I did shoot it with some starting fluid (I don't like that) and it really didn't seem to help much. I just thought that can of starting fluid has been sitting in there since I don't know when maybe it's old.
I'll put some pictures up of the old girl after awhile. If worst comes to worse I will put the other trainee in and pull it.
I have just about exhausted my resources so the only thing I know to do is crank on. Any advice would be appreciated.
