$100 Pickup Truck Update...A fresh start...problems solved??? Cheap Truck Challenge?
What happens here
The creator drives the truck to the auto parts store, parks, and attempts to restart it after a short waiting period. He notes that the lag persists, confirming a deeper issue beyond the starter and solenoid. He suspects a timing issue and plans to consult a friend who works on Ford vehicles and possesses a timing light to resolve the problem. He also mentions other upcoming maintenance projects for the truck, such as a brake job, rear differential fluid change, and potentially using 'Sea Foam' to clean the engine internals.
Goal: Diagnose remaining starting issues and plan future repairs and maintenance for the truck.
Tools and materials
- Sea Foam Spray Sea Foam — Cleaning engine internals, cylinders, and carburetor (planned for future)
- Timing Light — Diagnosing and adjusting engine timing (planned for future)
