Dead Diesel ?????
Well, I took my f-350 as my tow rig to a mud bog this past Saturday and ended up parking at a slight down hill angle, nothing serious just a little down hill. Went back later and tried to start it, it would crank but not fire, called a few people that I thought knew about diesels and they said that it might have an air bubble locking off flow to the injectors because when I was cranking, there was no smell of fuel coming out of the exhaust. Beats me! Towed the truck to a more level ground and waited until Sunday morning when I had daylight to try to look at it. Pulled the fuel filter cap and it was getting fuel, just wouldn't fire. Had to hook my buddies F-350 up to try to charge my batteries back up and jump start mine. After messing with the thing all day, finally admitted defeat and had to call for a tow. Now, I'm still in the same predicament, just 2 hours away from my truck. I checked all of the fuses and they all looked good, and without a code scanner, I'm lost. Anyone have any suggestions or should I just get it towed into the local dealership to get fixed? I'm not a diesel guy, but it looks like I need to learn to become one with this 6.0!!!
