Send a PM to Val (warriormama) she is from Osoyoos as well. She may be able to point you in the right direction.

Mojo, whats wrong with your truck? What year of truck is it? Maybe we can help

'95 F250 4x4 7.3...I had it scanned and the codes were not critical...I have replaced the glo-plugs...GPR...injector o-rings...batteries...starter...fresh oil...fuel filter...I bought this truck in Oct...it ran good when warmed up...but needed help(ether) to start after sitting for more than 8 hours...fortunately the GPR was NFG so the PO didn't hurt the motor(I hope) and has since been fixed...no ether now...but still no start...I've cranked this motor forever over the past 2 days...no smoke...no fire...when it was running it ran solid...so I think its just something minor....as opposed to a rebuild situation...any and all help appreciated...I'm gonna post this then head to the shop and replace the NFG block heater...:-banghead



mojo

Well if ya replaced the glow plugs, and the gpr, you kinda took my suggestions!

Have you tested them though, to make sure the right current is getting there? I dont know what the specific values are, but if there is a wire(s) that maybe are busted or whatever, then that may be a reason that they arent working.

In the last few days have you tried at all with ether? Like Im wondering if fuel is for sure getting to the injectors, can you hear your fuel pump going at all?

well...I'm off to shop with the wife....if it don't rumble when I get home I'm gonna disconnect the glo-plugs and give it a sniff of ether...:confused:



mojo

Well any progress yet?

I installed the block heater and plugged it in for 3 hours...she now wants to start...I'm thinkin' air in the hoses etc from the injector install...the shop is inheated at the moment so I don't hang around more than a couple hours at a time...will be back at it this morn for a bit...:-drink


mojo
