My brother says this site is one of the best information sites for ford problems. Must be worth a try.
my 1991 e350 ambulance, got a great deal on it .18,000 miles on its 7.3 idi. It's been sitting for maybe 7 years. Cranks beautifully, little bit of fuel smoke but runs great.i haven't put but maybe 20 miles or so on it. Drove it to get fuel yesterday. Leaving there it wouldn't move forward. Moved backwards but I could feel restriction. In drive it felt like brakes were locked up.i felt the restriction in drive when I left the house.today it moves forward again but still with restriction. I can only compare it to having my foot on brakes or emergency brake engaged, but it doesn't seem to be.i opened the bleeders today hoping they might release so I could get it back home but no luck.
Is there something else that might be causing this? Or is it a brake problem? Trans. fluid looks all good,no leaks. I added a few quarts previously.Any ideas would be appreciated

Off the top of my head I wonder if it isn't starting in second gear. Perhaps the selector needs adjustment or something . . . ?
