got her moving today.dumped the last 2 gallons of tranny fluid in it.fired it up and it wanted to move but acted like a brake was froze up.shut it off and went back to what i was doing.then i thought about it and i didnt hear the turbo spool up.so i went and fired it up and tryed again.black smoke everywhere!!but no boost.shut her down and pulled the intake.turbo froze up from sitting.grabbed the nub on the wheel with pliers and got it turning.fired it back up and it was boosting and spinning the tires trying to climb a snow bank :D :sweet but i think the converter is making noise :( i hear a scraping noise when i put it in reverse or drive.goes away in park and neutral.gotta get it dug out of the snow so i can play with it some more and see whats up

Yeah I am. At the moment, diesel prices are pushing 10 Danish Kroner per liter, which roughly translates to $ 6.8 per US gallon. :eek:

I'd be looking for some bio diesel. The 7.3 likes that stuff.
