What Do I Need To Make To This Vehicle?

My neighbor is selling his 1990 Ford F250 diesel pickup that he inherited from his late father. However, the truck has not been running for five years, ever since it ran out of fuel. He just simply stopped driving it. What repairs can I expect to make for a diesel vehicle that has been out of fuel and not running for five years?

Why not asking him to get it running first? All that is needed is to add fuel. As to why anyone allows a vehicle to sit for five yeas, without selling it, well, that seems to be related to the death of the father. Pay little as possible. Why do you require such as old truck or any truck for?

Diesels are pretty hard to start when they run out of fuel. Do not know if it is eaven worse after 5 years. Will need new batteries. Check the tires and all the fluids and the brakes and hopefully you can get it primed to start.

If that is all that happened, then a good battery and diesel.

Can be a real chore to get the air out of the system,… Should never let a diesel run out of fuel,.especially the " older ones "… New technology may have that covered, but not sure about it
