Where to start....

I got a 94.5 F-350 dually 4x4 last year and its been sitting ever since.

I started it once during the winter , the glow plugs or something were weak as I had to cycle the key a few times before it started.

I now need to use this truck and it wont start on its own.
I towed it and got it started ( Half a block) but it took some doing.

It didnt run very well it seemed to be stumbling and missing.
When I revved it up some it seems to clear up the give a big burst of blue smoke..

Anyway I let it warm up good and shut it off.
I tryed to start it and it wouldnt .

It should have started when it was warm is my thinking?

So what parts should I start throwing at it in what order?

sounds like you got some fuel issues.

Check the fuel filter and FPR screen.

The fact that you can atleast get her up and running, regardless of how well, would be a huge relief to me! You will have less to pin point as the problem!
