    Oh, that's right, it's to save money for track days. :cornut: Spent all day working on the F250. New injectors, injector pump, a glow plug. Friggin thing still won't start. But tomorrow is another day, and right now my time is worth it. A mechanic would have cost me 4 track days and it's too rainy to motor, or ride. So I'll be use to my elbows in deisel grease tomorrow too! What do y'all do to save for the fun stuff!
    Cheers!

    How's the high pressure oil pump reservoir? It's right on the front, top of the engine. If it isn't full, it won't start. You've had the injectors off, so it's probably low.

    I have one of those too!

    Thanks Dave, we did top it off. Right now I'm thinking it might be air locked. Cracked the injectors, and we're trying to get the batteries recharged. It's been one of those projects :crazy:
