ok, my neighbor has an '84 f-350 dually (manual tranny) and it hasn't ran in quite awhile. last time he tried to start it he shot a little bit of ether in it and then cranked it... it cranked for a second and then made a "metallic thump" and hasn't fired since. it currently has all new gp's (motorcraft) and gp controller and his ip timing is on (he checked it).
my opinion: the ether was a bad idea and he probly has a blown piston or head gasket.
he's at the end of his rope with the truck and if he's looking at alot of $$$ to get it running he might part it out. does anyone have any idea's of what else he should look for?
on a brighter note: my 7.3 is running great
