RARE 1986 F-350 Crew Cab Dually - Will It Start? (Part 1)

In this video me and my brothers travel 2.5 hours away to Virginia to pick up this SUPER RARE 1986 F-350 crew cab dually 4x4 with a 6.9 idi diesel. This truck has been sitting since at least 2016 if not longer and needs a good revival… I try to get this ol girl running in this video and try to do some long overdue maintenance, watch the video to see what happens…
So watch this video to see if it starts and watch the following videos in this series to see what’s to come on the 1986 F-350 crew cab revival!

Stubborn old girl nice find though if I may say. Love the sounds of idi diesels

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

Yessur she’s in decent shape, thanks for watching!

[@BoundANDDetermined88]

Wow, Ive never seen anyone crank on a motor for 10 min straight. I bet that starter was glowing.

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

I didn’t crank on it that long lol, I edited out a lot of the segments where I let the glow plugs cycle/let the starter cool to shorten up the video some

[@Snowlep337]

You ever heard of zip ties and bias plies? Wanna see what happens when you put 24V to one of these IDI starters?

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

@@Snowlep337yes watch him all the time😂

My dad had an old 6.9, was a sweet truck but couldnt keep head gaskets in it. Blew one every 70k miles

Those generation Ford F-series pickups are rare these days, especially those crew cabs.

I’m out, as soon as I heard flat bed 😂✌️

[@Wrenching-with-rednecks]

but dude think about it a flat bed with a set of bull hauler chrome stacks would look cool as hell

[@rebelredneck36]

I agree flat bed chrome stacks

This truckee is a perfect shot truck

[@falconman9554]

Oh man you got a factory tach in that truck...wish my 84 granny 4 speed had one.

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

My other 6.9 reg cab long bed f250 has a factory tach in it too, never thought I’d own 2 factory tach trucks at once lol

Me encanta esa camioneta por el diseño es muy imponente en realidad me crie mirando todos los días una de ese modelo mi tío tenía una modelo lariat y siempre recuerdo mirarla mucho en verdad me gusta ese diseño y muy buena elección de parte de Ford en inspirarse en este modelo para crear el modelo 2024 😊🤖

[@jesses.7107]

That thing is almost a twin to my 85 k30, hope you keep the steps

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

I’m planning on it I love the old school look of em

[@brandonallen7993]

Compression test , leak down test , also these engines sometimes will suffer from the hydraulic lifters “collapsing” but if there’s metal in the crank case that’s definitely not a good sign

[@L.A.Concrete]

Time for a Cummins swap

[@phillipbremer7715]

that shift lock braket in colum breaks shift the rod on key switch

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

Yeah I’ve had to replace that on my f150, you gotta take the whole top of the column apart

[@Leebetter]

@@JTsBuildsandFields Had the same failure on my 89 Bronco. Had the dealer do it. They told me the part was made of pewter to make the truck lighter. Whatever.

[@benroberts4780]

Could it possibly be e a injector knock

[@rileyfindley7207]

What do yall pay for these down south

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

Anywhere from $500 to 3k for a non running truck depending on condition and what it is

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

[@Leebetter]

What plugs and wires? It's an 80's IDI diesel.

[@nathankoroush7918]

@nathankoroush7918 Diesel engines don't have spark plugs. They have glow plugs.

[@dillansoderlind667]

90% of your video consists of you yapping and cranking

[@bobbywright2100]

Sorry nothing rare about a 1986 dually diesel or gas. They are really everywhere but ok!!?? And there are way to many will it start videos, you might want to change up or get better at speaking in the videos and videoing what your doing or your not going to make it. Sorry but a thumbs down!

[@JTsBuildsandFields]

It is rare because it’s a 4x4 dually crew cab, bullnose crew cabs are not very common let alone a crew cab bullnose 4x4 dually, ford didn’t make a f350 dually 4x4 unless it was cab and chassis (which would be regular cab) that’s why it’s rare, so if you don’t like the thumbnail go thumbs down every other exaggerated TH-cam video title. I enjoy will it starts so if you don’t wanna watch go somewhere else, I ain’t a professional camera crew I film this on my own phone for fun so thankyou have a nice day!

[@robertweintraub2090]

@bobbywright2100. I’ve never seen someone hate so hard.

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

I think I’d probably run some more diesel through it, and, make sure all the old residual sludge is gone.
