i let the truck idle for thirty mins, after that i ran the hell out of the truck. it ran fine, all i did was retighten every thing and it ran fine. even at freeway speeds.
define "tighten every thing" ?

in the morning,unscrew the fuel filter and report how full or empty it is.
did you clean the battery terminals and block/starter connections and test the glow plugs yet?

hey the fuel filter was full of diesel this mornin before starting.

I went through and checked all of the hose clamps and all of the hard lines. If somethin wasent snug i tightened it.

Truck started up good and its out front running now.

but i went through and called the original owner that i bought the truck from, he put a reman ip on the truck two months before i bought it.

I now its off topic but where can i get a new fuel tank selector switch auto zone has them for $30 bucks but are they any good? ford wants $120 for one after my discount.
