Im looking at a 86 f250 6.9 diesel auto not sure if its a 2wd or a 4x4 hasn't ran Ina while guy said it ran when he parked it he's asking 1100 what do you all think

6.9????

 

6.9 international harvester diesel

 

Guy says it ran when he parked it a few years ago he told me it needs the batteries charged and a few other Lil misc stuff I'm new to diesel maintenance and I was wondering what would I need to do to get it to fire up again if I bought it because I don't want to buy it and not know what to do

 

Diesel is a little more complex than guess. Especially when youre not used to it.

 

I would be worried about fuel gumming up and clogging up lines and injectors. It would probably require a top end rebuild.

 

Hmm I might get it anyway lol if I do get it I'm definitely going to get injector cleaner and new glow plugs

 

Goodmorning, I would say, put a battery in it and start the truck, then name your price. I´ve been busy with importing a same type of truck from Hacienda Heights Ca, but the grass underneath the truck was dead (so it stood there for a long time) and they wrote it needed "TLC" I decided to buy it not...... A running truck tells you everything.

That is a very good idea do u think my f150 battery could start it I don't have any spares that I could use to take up there
