She is alive again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bessy The Blue Beast (1985 F350 Crew Cab dually) is alive and running like a scalded dog again !! After sitting in the drive way for 5 years 3 of them with all the fluids drained I have resurrected her from the grave yard !! I want to thank all who have helped me slowly go thru the step by step procedures to come to her final diagnoses. The injection pump was the problem and I noticed that it had been changed in 1992. The injectors were original factory and now are retired with remanufactured in there place. All this leads me to believe that the truck has 239000 miles on her.
