  • Part 1 of this Ford F250 IDI Diesel revival. Sat for at least 10 years after it wouldn't start at the store. Let's see if I can get it running and drive it home!

    I worked at a Ford dealership the summer of 1988 and I can just about remember the smell of these trucks from when it was new. Ahhhh Memories! We said “ not Dodge “ at the same time you were tapping on the dash!! 😂

    Those old trucks are notorious for shutting off when it’s revved up. ATF in the fuel tank and filter will fix it it just takes quite a bit of run time

      @@krazerblop2289 I gotcha, typically unless they were 1 or 2 owner, or family owned trucks it's easy for them to catch 1 or 2 rollovers on the odo and it's hard to prove 1 way or the other. Glad you obtained a mint specimen though brother. ❤️

    The fuel filter housings on those trucks would get a hairline fracture in them and allow the fuel to bleed back from that point. Mine would start and run for a few minutes until it ran out of fuel. Then I had to crank on it a while to get the fuel back up there. Good times! Very nice rig!

    • @southernrevivalautomotive
      @southernrevivalautomotive  ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting. I knew they had issues of air intrusion. From fuel heater plug on top of fuel filter housing and the return lines.
