Truck needs ether to start?
 

Ok so I currently have a 12v and I'm thinking about selling and getting a 3rd gen. I found a good price on one but the guy said u have to hit it with a shot of ether to get it to start after it sits for a couple hrs? But once u get it started he says it runs like a champ. Any info on what would cause this would be highly appreciated. Thanks

prob. injectors

Those trucks can get "addicted" to ether........be careful......with the grid heaters activated you could cause a big boom.

So do u all think I should jus walk away from this truck before I jus get myself into a problem? Can't afford to be fixin something every weekend.

walk away man using ether multiple times is bad news for engine and the user. just keep looking not worth it :argh:

stroke out

Even for 8k? Qclb, 4x4 built auto 200xxx?

it just dangerous to be risking your money for sure you have to work on injectors and who nows how long hes been firing it on ether and whether he would give you a honest answer just my .02 good luck with your decision though

Thanks for your help I think I'm gonna walk away from it

youll find a better one :c:

you'll end up doing injectors and probably more, not worth it in the long run IMHO.
