Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Pulled the truck into my garage last weekend- last night I finnally got to work..
Pulled the spark plugs, squirted some marvel mystery oil into each cylinder.

Got out my breaker bar to attempt to turn it over manually- then realized there is no crank bolt on this thing... how the heck do you turn it over?

I hooked my battery back up, thinking i would try and kick it over with the starter, since it spun for me last week (just didn't engage) I thought maybe i could whack it with a hammer and it would start engaging.

Pushed on the stomp starter and POP! No more headlights and no more starter spin.
:-(

I used engine cleaner and power washed the engine bay before i moved the truck... guessing water got into the starter or something. Will have to pull the starter and see if it will work on its own, then re-install.
