Huge news! Little persuasion and a jump starter got the old girl running yesterday! Oh it was such a great feeling hearing the diesel rattle to life. Immediately after starting it, almost sounded like a rod knock but after inspection I found the upper ac compressor bracket broken and hitting the intake. Yanked it off and now it sounds awesome! Added 3 qts of ATF and ram it through the gears. This of course prompted me to drive it around the yard... ya I was sitting on a milk crate, and ya I don’t know the fuel level.// by t it felt so good to drive it around the circle driveway! ...then it ran out of fuel. Put 5 gallons in , stifled my excitement and put her away for the night.
