@Whopperspigsales Good old Fords… you got to love them!
I have a 1986 f250 also but its a gas. Was sitting for 5yrs I went out put a new battery in it and it started right up!
@landon460 Old Ford trucks are the best ever but not all GM Trucks are crap i got a lucky 1 out of 100 trucks that ya cant kill it was sittin in the woods for 5 years put a new battery splash of gas and it started right up
@artfd Sounds like you take real good care of your truck. Thanks for watching!
I routinely park my 1983 F250 diesel for six months during the slippery season – it tends to skid with nothing in the bed. I leave a battery trickle charger connected, and check the battery water levels every few weeks. Check the tire pressure, oil & coolant levels before I drive it out again. Never had trouble starting it. I have heard some parts of the country have trouble with algae growing in the fuel, or water collecting, that hasn’t bothered me.
@braaup We’ve been using it for 12 years and counting. It’s only “hell on diesels” if the glow plugs work. Ours don’t. Thanks for the comment!
Hope he didn’t use that starting fluid on that poor engine.. starting fluid is hell on diesels!
@KLX1990 Auto
t-19 4 speed ?
@edzgarage they are bullet proof motors we had one and swapped for a 7.3 because it was in a lifted truck and the 6.9 didnt pull the truck good enough but we put that 6.9 in the other ford and it had 300k miles they are tough may be slow but really strong
@MrChriskenser These old trucks do have a sound of their own!
i love the way the 6.9L sounds like a big v8 gas engine lol so cool our old 6.9 sounded like a big block when we got on it
@simonfrmgb Thanks for the comment!
prob find the knock was the lack of oil around the lifters.she quietened down once the oil pressure was up.nice to see respect for the motor and no revving for a while.good job man
I want one!
@landon460 i know someone who has a 77 f150 with a 351m. the truck has a little over 200,000 miles on it, and the third engine was put in around 190,000 miles. however, his dad used it mainly for towing a boat and carrying a camper.
i’m not saying it was like the chevy. i’m saying not all old fords are “hard to kill”.
@edzgarage Okay good, I thought the glow plugs were still working. Pheeww!! What a relief!!!! Got any plans for some cosmetic work to be done? Wouldn’t hurt any….. I love these trucks, It’s just so hard to find ones in good condition.
@DieselnDrums The glow plugs don’t work. It’s okay.
You really should not use Ether to start a Diesel…..
@russianspy52 I had a 92 Ranger 3.0L for 14 years and sold it with 280k miles and the next guy drove to over 300k before it was smashed up. What a great old truck!
My 1990 Ranger with the original 4.0L V6 had 399,000 on it it died with a fight too one of the pistons had a hole in it and it ran like that for 3 months because i didn’t know just the oil pressure gauge was flopping around but when it gave out it didn’t want to go it was just hard to make it go. it was so good i just had to put a new motorcraft engine in it and tranny. you cant kill them!.
@ViolentBiscuits It’s just the ether when it lit. Imcomplete combustion for a second, it smoothed out in 10 or 15 seconds. It happens.
@edzgarage yeah I know its a diesel, but it sounded like it had an awful knocking sound in the begging, probably becasue of the camera, sounded too loud and exxagerated.
@ViolentBiscuits lol You’re kidding right? It’s a diesel engine.
Ew, what an awful knock
