Absolutely.... It's stored at a friend's house... We couldn't find a shop in Yuma that would work on it.
I have a Ford sport Trac that the thieft device set off and wouldn't start. Had towed to a auto repair they couldn't work on it because ford dealership are the only ones with the right scan...
Thank you for all your help and suggestions. but we ran out of time. Dave left the truck at the auto repair in calif too long we only had a couple weeks to trouble shoot plus other things us snowbirds do. we did try some of the simple suggestions but to no avail still runs fine then just shuts...
It's not my rig. I'm helping a friend.... It's not a "for hire" rig he uses it as a flat bed hauling lumber, rock, car's and parts....
But thanks for the info. I know California is a beautiful state. I lived in Sacramento back in the 70's was Great... Now I stay away it's gotten really...
Thanks for all the great information... I will try to get over there this weekend and run some of these suggestions.... I'll let you know when I find something.
Thanks again
Steve
Helping a friend with his 1994 c3500, I have some automotive background but not with diesels. I have better computer skills than he does so I'm doing the research.
He has owned this truck since 1996 140k miles. Was traveling to Yuma AZ from Washington after fueling in Calif near Bakersfield...
