POS work truck

so the company i work for has this 99 f 550 bucket truck with a 7.3 i got a hold of it today and this thing is messed up bad. it sounds like the truck is not running all eight thru the entire rpm range the ipr sensor is cover in oil a few times when i was driving the truck i could put the petal to the floor and the truck would not move the engine would not try to rev and the company won't spend the money to get it fixed right they just blame it on someone leaving the pto engaged when it's not

So are you wanting to buy it?
Or maybe fix it?

Not sure what you are asking here, sorry?

LOL I wouldn,t be going up in that bucket unless the emergency let down worked.
Make sure you bring some rescue rope if it don,t LOL

It,s your right to refuse work if it is unsafe sounds to me like that is,tell your boss that see what he has to say may get the ball rolling as far as repairs go.

good luck
