[QUOTE=cedman]Thanks for all the responses guys. I had recently replaced the fuel filter. I musta got some real bad fuel just after. I removed the filter and cleaned it... the fuel in the bowl was BLACK! The batteries that spun the engine over so well were a little down on voltage when checked. So I put them on charge overnight. Truck spun for about 10 seconds before firing up and running fine since then.
I'd check the FPR screen, if your filter was that bad and you suspect bad fuel. Do a search for this proceedure it's pretty simple as long as you don't lose your o'rings.
Did you say batteries are six years old? You have to have excellant batteries in order to start these beast up. It will turn over fine as you stated, but still won't start.
No need to apologize, we all been there done that.
Keep on STROKIN!!

I know that none of this is any type of excuse and I want all of you guys to know I'm sorry. It won't happen again!
Thanks, CedricR.

I partner with my wife's uncle in renting four section 8 homes in nearby Durham. We've had one month vacancy on one unit in the last 8 years. I have the rep of doing more than is expected and doing it right and I make clear to the tenants that I expect the same from them. They get a turkey on Thanksgiving and a ham for Christmas. It helps that the homes are brand new, not patched/shored up roach traps; there are enough of those in Durham already! The uncle is tight with the city (he does a lot of work for them), has a huge heart of gold and is known as the nicest guy in town...... until someone tries to screw him around. They soon learn that is a very bad move; things just seem to happen to them.
This unit is one of my own... brick home in a quiet neighborhood, 2 blocks from a police substation, 1 block from the busline, close to the RTP, 6 bedrooms 2.5 baths. pretty nice!
