Re: School me on big trucks - 89 GMC 6000

starter fluid is like meth for humans to a engine .

use spray bottle with gas in it or good brake cleaner thats NOT the safety kind no flamible. i have good luck with autozone brand brake cleaner .

i had a nice snowmobile one time . used starter fluid on it 1 time on a real cold day . after that it always wanted it some even 50-60* days . . . never again will i use it unless i know the motor has already had some before i ever got to it .

watch the suspension bags . full air up after sitting so long could be dry rotted .

the brakes are electric if there is no engine running . its the safety for the system . big trucks got this .

and the 19.5 low pro's are for the highway . its prob got o.k. gears in the rear but no real work gear .

if it goes for parts and not fixable i need some inside cab parts .
