1986 ford f250 6.9 diesel cranks but won't start
Ok guys I did a trans fluid and filter change about 2 months ago but I did not get anoufe trans fluid so I parked it haven't had time to mess with the truck till now. So when I go to start it it cranks but won't fire before I parked it I ran it dry of fuel so it wouldst be sitting in the tank. Ok so I put some fuel in the tank it's getting fuel to the filter. And when it's cranking there is a blue white smoke. Thanks guys sorry for the long post
What's the temp outside? Is it cold and are your GP working, all of them? The white smoke is raw fuel and the blue could be fuel and or oil trying to burn off from sitting and not firing and sealing up. Don't use ether, but you could give it a small blast of wd-40 down the intake and see if it fires that way. WD is flammable, but it lubricates a bit, so it better that ether.

Would a clogged fuel filter cause the cranking but no starting.

fill your filter with atf, and you're going to need to bleed the air out of the fuel lines, crack open the first three injectors on the driver side, and crank till fuel comes out, usually it will start before you have to chance to close them so keep it running and tighten them down
[QUOTE=Dortiz;1043865]Glad to help, which one got it running out of curiosity haha[/QUOTE Well I Dident have any ATF so I did marvel mystery oil cranked it and got it started. I did not have to crack any injectors. When I got it running it smoked Crazy. Thanks
