Trying to crank a dump tuck that has sat for about 4 months? - 1
I've got a early to mid 90's ford 8000 dump truck that I'm trying to get started. I last drove this truck about 4 months ago and it started and ran just fine. Its got about 1/4 tank of fuel in both fuel tanks. The batteries are dead but when I hook jumper cables up, it will turn over fine. I sprayed a shot of wd40 followed by a small amount of starting fluid in it yesterday and it will crank and run for a split second until the starting fluid is gone but then it dies again. It has a CAT engine but i'm not sure what size. This truck is used to move stuff around on my farm. Any ideas on how I can get this truck running?
Diesel fuel goes bad fairly quick, so you will probably need to keep it running with the starter spray longer, to get the fuel to cycle thru the engine. Maybe get some new fuel & pour it slowly directly into the engine.
Probably has lost its prime. Meaning all the fuel in the lines has run into the tanks. Look for a priming pump in the fuel line near the main fuel pump. Some diesels have a bleed screw instead of a primer. This will let air out while the engine is cranking so fuel will reach the engine faster. Having the tanks full will help the process.
4 months ain't nothing… That SHOULD not have any effect on it. First, Get the Battery situation in order,… And be real careful with the starting ether
- Where do i put in aw-46 hydraulic fluid in 1990 ford f600 dump truck? I believe it goes in somewhere under the dump box once lifted. is there a link to some specs that i could possibly print out so i can see where to fill it at?
- 2000 Ford Ranger v6 4.0 ltr, my tuck started to cut out and die? I flushed the cooling system and then filled it with water and cleaner, then ran it for about 10 minutes then let it cool, then I drained it and filled it with new coolant; I ran it to get it warm an then it started to die, almost like its not getting enough air or gas. I have no clue what happened or what could happen it seems pretty idiot proof to screw up I don't know what to do.
- Isn't it likely the reason Senator Dianne Feinstein sat on the information she got from Dr Ford instead of immediately turning it over to? The Chairman of the Judicial Committee like she should have is that there wasn't much of a case and realized when the Judicial Committee had the information investigated they would likely find nothing instead by sitting on the information till the end it could help to get some of the RINO's to vote against confirmation
