After Sitting 4 Years, Will It START???

After sitting for 4 years, will the FREE Ford Explorer start? This truck has not start in over 3 years so we replace the battery and run some pre-start test to be sure that it is safe to fire up. After checking fluids, filters and hoses we finally get to turn the key. After all of these years, will this free crusty old ford explorer start?

I enjoyed the video. I hope you get it running

Thanks for watching Kevin!

Knowing that you finally got this started you are really fortunate that mice didn't get in it when it sat for a long time and eat the wiring. If your buddy that originally owned the Explorer is in the area you should make a video showing him the way it looks once it Is cleaned up and working and see his reaction.

Did you try the old, wack the started with a hammer to see if it would free up? I can see Clay driving that all over the farm.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey buddy! We did, that is a great trick but for us no dice. And you are 100% right! The kids are all clamoring to be the first ones to drive it! 🤣

1999 Honda City started after sitting for 6 yrs.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Wow! Did you fog the cylinders to lube them? You also must appreciate that we cannot compare a Honda to a Ford. Lol

Is it manual (stick) or auto. If manual, put a tow rope (cruddy worthless rope you don't mind if it breaks) onto the front tie down hitch. Tow with kioti & slip clutch in second gear to jump start. If it starts, it's the starter, otherwise you may need to look elsewhere. Good luck, hope you get it started soon.

Thanks Eleni; it’s an auto. If it was a manual I would have pushed it down a hill! 😂. Really can be a nice truck! Stay tuned is all that I can say. 😜👍🏼

How is the car running these days?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Still running great! Needed to replace the battery with a higher quality battery since it sits a lot. Winter killed it. Thanks for watching!

Found On Range Dead. Couldn't help myself.

Make shure you have a fire extinguisher nearby
