so are we convinced that the motor is bad? I assume a compression test would reveal yes or no?

yeah, we pulled the carfax here at work and it doesn't show anything about any recalls being performed...so I'm betting the motor is going to need some help.

do you need a functioning starter to perform a compression check?

yeah, pretty much you need a starter....turning it over by hand would take forever.

John Cox, I emailed him again and he said you are going out there at 5? Do you need help trying to push start it?

in addition to the fresh oil, there is a new air filter, and new coolant which is filled to the very edge of the radiator cap. as far as the starter, in my opinion it is kind of hard to purposely mess up a starter. meaning that it is usually one of three things A) it will engage but wont spin, B) it will spin but wont engage, or C) it will just click. if you could hook up a decent battery and it did one of these three things then i would say the starter may be its problem.
also john said that he didnt want to try and start it without a full fuel system flush because water may be in the fuel. how in the hell is water gonna get in the system when its just sitting. especially since the fuel door has a lock on it.
i tried to turn the engine over by turning the pulleys. this didnt get me anywhere. i would think you could do such a thing.

you can't turn a 22re over without really cranking on a 1/2" ratchet. I'd bet money that the starter is a cheap fix...the contacts wear out. If it's got a blown HG you should be able to push start it and run it a while then see if the oil and water are mixing. I would have bought this truck when it was first posted if I had money. I hate you guys. oh and lemme know if you wanna borrow a compression tester
How do you think I feel? I've got money and one of these guys is going to buy it before I can get to CS.
