Fuel Shutoff? Rolled my truck

I’m pretty sure it’s not the battery. He said they tried to boost it. So it had a hot battery hooked up and would still only click.

 

What about a spark plug socket? Lol

 

Your absolutely right.Better safe than sorry . But after that when it won't start .Check the battery.

Ahem Plug socket ahem

 

Ok I will report back tomorrow.

 

Same same.. but different.

 

Hell yeah bro, SEND IT!

 

Definitely not throwing stones because I feel for you... but why was it on the side for a couple of hours? Were you alone? It looks like a pretty easy recovery if there were people with you. I hope everything gets worked out and you're back driving it today.

 

How would he turn over the motor with the battery unplugged?

 

with a socket and breaker bar on the crank

 

Yeah that's true. Wouldn't be enough to shoot any oil out though.

 

never offroaded. only been to the mall lol

 

Ran well when parked

 

I’m curious about the outcome.

 

Looks can be deceiving

 

So don't disconnect the battery?
Second guessing myself if this is even a job I can do on my own now.

 

I'm not claiming to know what I'm doing, but if I were in your shoes, I'd pull out the spark plugs, and turn over the engine. This is what will happen if there's oil in there.

Pull the plugs, pull the fuel pump relay. Cover the spark plug threads with a towel. Crank the engine by tapping the starter. See if you get oil onto the towel. Replace plugs and relay, try to start.

I'd also check the battery voltage and ensure you have adequate fluid levels in the battery and engine (we know it's a given the trans is low on fluid).

Good luck!

 

Thanks for that link. Just disconnecting of the battery is where I'm lost if I have to manually try and turn it over with a breaker bar?

More research before I get in there just woke up a bit ago, plenty of time considering the potential severity of the situation.

 

I'm not sure why disconnecting the battery was suggested for that, but who knows.

 

Manual Trans if that matters, I'm being given different directions by different people and it's starting to get conflicting/confusing. Truck is/was under warranty up until yesterday do I just let them deal with it before I make this worse?
