[JManGuitar5150]

@bluejay148 Yeah it hasn't been started for over a year now. We've combined the original cab with another identical to make an extended cab. The air starter had to come off so it won't be running for a while :(

Reminds me of that Mack B-61 from Maximum Overdrive & it even sound like the tow truck from that scene in Maximum Overdrive when you guy's started it up!

Just don't drop gas in the tank. Basically the fumes on the rag act like spraying a can of ether. A cheap version of starting fluid, in a sense.

[tfraud]

Take a rag and soak it in gasoline. Ring out the excess gas and place the rag over the inlet of the intake manifold while cranking it. This trick has been known to work for both gas and diesel powered engines
