What happens here
With the solenoid problem addressed, Josh gets back into the truck for another attempt. This time, after a few tries and the engine struggling to catch due to old fuel, the engine successfully starts. He notes that the engine is 'purring like a kitten' despite having some old, possibly ethanol-contaminated, gas in the tank. He also checks the oil level, confirming it wasn't dry before starting.
Goal: Get the truck's engine running and ensure it's operating smoothly.
