Default 94 12V been sitting for years.

Howdy, I'm new on here, And need some help. I have a 94 12V 2wd with a 5 Speed, It only has 146,000 Miles on it, but It has been sitting since early 09, I was wondering what all it would need, Ive gotten it to crank over slowly on a charger, but now Im worried I may have clogged the injectors with the nasty old varnishy fuel (you can keep the stupid remarks to yourselves.) All I can figure is the obvious things, gaskets, all the fluids, and a good scrubbing. When it was parked all that was wrong with it was a cracked windshield and some foggy headlights. This truck was my late father's baby.

What you stated should about cover it. I would try to get that old diesel out of the tank and fuel lines and run some injector cleaner with fresh fuel.

I dont know of what significance it is, but its starting leaking oil from the blow-by tube, Should I be worried about this? This truck has been started twice since 09.

i wouldnt be horribly worried. let it sit and run for a good long while the blow by will most likely settle down.

Condensation is all your seeing with that long of inactivity. As said before no concern until its ran a few hours and its still occurring, even then unless its heavy its of no concern

I think its worth asking if anybody has a spare 8-foot 94-02 dodge bed? This truck has no bed on it at the moment.

And what do you guys think, keep it as a dually? or go back to SRW? The truck started life as a 3/4 ton, we completely converted it into more than a 1 ton dually. (9 leafs plus 3 overloads and airbags.) I guess it really depends on what bed I find.
