My son bought this 1995 Ford F800 Crew Cab Truck from a small town south of Atlanta. Bought from a online auction we had not seen the truck in person until we drove up to drive it home....well that was the plan.
With good batteries the truck fired right up...air pressure for the brakes seemed to work and all the gauges seemed normal.
Not to long into the journey it sprung a leak....diesel fuel leak. Seems a primer bulb on the engines pickup pump fell out.
I tried making a plug from a piece of pine but it would not seal completely.
We finally found a Napa Auto Parts store in Roberta GA. They didnt have the exact part we needed but the guy in charge suggested the freeze plug as a temporary fix...it did the trick. The diesel leak was fixed .
We still had to stop again later and buy 2 new headlights.
Made it home around 1 AM
