Unhappy Worst has came up

Our 2002 Ford F250 4x4 crew cab triton V10 won't crank or anything. We had no choice today but to get gas out of the truck and we went to crank it with still about 5 gallons in it and nothing. It won't crank it won't budge nothing. The battery is brand new. I don't know whats wrong and I am not going to get rid of a truck that is unbeliveable like it is. I want to know every possible way to fix this please. Please help me out I need this fixed this truck is just to good to get rid of. I have taken gas out of it before but I took one side of the battery cable off and the truck ran great after we put gas in it again. My dad didn't do that this time and now the truck won't work. Please please help us. This is our best running truck right now. Also for those of you concerned I just got the truck's hubs fixed but the truck was running with no problems yesterday.

May not help, but my 98 f150 4.6 wouldnt turn over years ago. Turns out, the starter cable from the starter to solenoid, from years of gravel roads n washboards vibrated itself enough to crack causing a poor connection and would not engage the starter. It was a $100 fix (ridiculous for a cable) but its a start if your looking to troubleshoot. Hope that helps

Just a suggestion...but maybe the fuel cut off switch? It is located on the passenger side foot well.

Plus...might want to check fuses.

Good luck with it!

It was a joke thankfuly!

sorry guys my dad tricked me into thinking this. The truck is perfectly fine. I can't believe I felt for it. Thanks though. I think it was payback because I pretended to not be able to start his 1986 F150. OH well he got me.

Thats a good one... here's another one. My son(16) brought home his bosses truck to my inlaws and was to pick up his boss in the am. My father inlaw took the key from the truck and switched it with his explorer. In the am when my boy tried to start the truck, nothing happened. The inlaw said he had to heat the key, holding the correct key in his hand, he took the explorer key from my boy and switched it. Blowing in his hand to "warm" the key, he then gave the correct key to my boy and ...it worked "WOW"
Later in the day we all had a good laugh finding out that he told his boss that if his truck dont start, try warming the key. ;-)

I had not that funny situation with Ford wagons. I rented one in France and my il-law in Poland had almost identical one.
So one morning we have been standing in front of his condo and he left the car running with nobody inside.
I tried if the key from my Ford would lock door on his Ford. IT DID.
Unlocking wasn't that easy.
