My 1/2 ton has been sitting around back of the house full with a bed full of corn for the last month or two since I busted the B.S. torque tube deal on it.
Well yesterday I got my new torque tube u-joint, get it all installed, and the darn truck won't start!!!
I'd gone out and started it it once a week or so while it was sitting back there, never had a problem.. always fired right up.. now today, it just dosen't wanna start.
Battery charge........... check
points gapped & clean........ check
plugs gapped and clean..... check
rotor and cap clean.........check
getting fuel.............check
If I crank on it, it just kinda cranks and pops here and there.. if I put my foot to the floor while cranking it tries to start.. almost like it somehow jumped time just sitting there or something.
Im going to let it sit for an hour or so with the breather off.. maybe I flooded it or something.. who knows.. but what annoys the hell out of me is that it would fire right up the whole time I was driving it.. even when Jed was out during thanksgiving he said, "Hey.. that fires right up, don't it?" and now..... BLAHHHHH!
I'm an income tax return check away from putting it on a trailer and having somebody drop a 350 with a 4 speed tranny and a new rear in it and calling it a day.. and if that check is in the mailbox today, that might be just what I do!
