Got nothing wired up in cab yet just a big birds nest of wires
no dials or anything, that's another thing Im dreading.Yes got it Mate, it just reminded me of having a new thermostat.Always good to change the stat after 10yrs of doing nothing, but that's not what I was saying. Do the final coolant fill through the top of the stat housing.
You'll need to make sure non of the wires in the birds nest are live and shorting outGot nothing wired up in cab yet just a big birds nest of wires

Phil means disconnected the fuel shut off solenoid so no fuel gets through when you first turn it over. This allows the oil pump to get oil to all necessary bearings before it fires up. Otherwise it could fire up and run dry for a moment or two which would not be good.
Be patient! I know you're keen to get the engine fired up, but you could do serious damage that will be an absolute nightmare to diagnose and fix if you connect the battery and turn the key. Also, if you start the engine oil dry you'll cause damage you can't see, but will cause problems later. More haste less speed!
Thanks Mate, have just wrote everything down, will take my time. If no one hears from me tomorrow night its coz Ill be in the huff coz it wouldn't start.Be p
There's a VERY good chance it will start. Don't worry about getting it to start, if you bleed it/push the diesel through, as James Martin described earlier, it will start! Even if you don't do that, but you have a good battery that will turn it over for a while, it will probably still start! I know, after months of work, you will be keen to see life in the beastThanks Mate, have just wrote everything down, will take my time. If no one hears from me tomorrow night its coz Ill be in the huff coz it wouldn't start.
However, I would strongly advise erring on the side of caution.
