| Hey John I can see your getting the truck driver fever. Not a biggy. The only cure.. Lots and lots of diesel fumes And for some quick re-leaf, lot of chrome and nice lookin trucks to look at.
So is your Grandfather still around? He'd probably would really love to see you get that old Pete going before he is gone. It doesn't look like it needs a hole lot, does it? | |

| well took the batteries out of the ole F-250 yesterday and threw em in the cabover. She will roll over still thank go d lol. I put 5 gallons of fresh fuel in her and I pulled the fuel filter and filled it with ATF. Then I gave her a snort of ether and........nothin. Cranked her for a while and she bucked over once or twice like it was gonna start, but no go. Pulled the filter again and it was only half full, so I filled her back up with more ATF and cranked her some more. No start yet, but I got the batteries charging now so ill mess with it more tomorrow.
Any suggestions are welcome......its got a 290 cummins. | |
