On the bench
Went to pick up my new 93 f250 IDI turbo today, left at 8am and I pulled my flatbed trailer 100 miles on horrible ice and blowing snow/ground blizzard. I called the guys I bought it from this morning and they said he had put it "on the street" and they would clean it off and make sure it was plowed out when I came. I got there and the son of a &$%%&&& had left it in 2ft of snow with the front tires in a steep ditch. The Trailer deck was just under level with the hood and My ramps were pert near vertical. I tried to pull it out but it was glare ice under 2ft of snow so no go. I even tried winching it out of the ditch with the trailer winch and it drug my f350 sd and trailer backwards but did not even budge the truck....so I pulled out the AAA card and used my 100mile tow, which I was hoping to save for our annual drive to south carolina The driver was excellent and commented on how much trouble he had pulling it out! He also said it looks like it will be a nice truck. It is sitting in the driveway now, my wife got home from work, walked in the house and said "It smells like sheep." HAH!
SO where should I start with getting ready to try and start this thing? The truck has been sitting for 1yr with loose injector lines It has a new injection pump, freshly installed injectors, and return lines and new glow plugs. It also has a new fuel filter. I put a battery in it and it has 3/4 tank of fuel if the gauge is good. I did not try to turn it over. Any thing in particular I should look out for? Thanks
