RE: pdx-biodiesel Digest, Vol 43, Issue 20

If it won't turn over and gauges go to zero when you turn the key it is most
likely either a starter or battery problem or some other electrical issue.
It sounds like a dead battery. That can be caused by a charging system
problem or something as simply as dirty battery cables or a light left on
(Those pesky dome lights can pull a weak battery down to nothing in a day).

Hiya -
I'm someone hoping to become a member soon. I am having problems with my
Ford F250 - I think it may be a glow plug issue, because the truck won't
turn over and the oil pressure gauge drops to nothing when I turn the key,
even though I recently had an oil and air filter change.

I know of someone in Vancouver who could work on the truck, but I'd like to
find someone closer. Does anyone have a mechanic they could refer me to? I
live in NE Portland near Mt. Tabor. I'd appreciate it!

Thanks -
Jeanette
