Any idea what it might cost to just have my truck looked at? I've never taken my truck to a shop except for the front end alignment so I have no idea.

Yeah my grandpa has done some business with a local shop and became friends with them. Maybe they can diagnose the problem for me without charge. I may be dreaming though, or wishful thinking.

Worth a shot. Have you tried pulling all the plugs then cranking it over to empty the chambers of fuel? Maybe it's flooded. Good time to replace the plugs to.

I haven't tried that, good idea. The plugs are motorcfafts and are less than a year old, look pretty good.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I would suspect it's probably flooded by now though

I'll try that. Would being flooded prevent it from starting though?
