OK all you Guru's out there, i got me a problem that i am hoping is something that i am overlooking but have my doubts. Just picked up a '97 F350 7.3 ltr P/S 5 sp 4 dr dually for a song and i cant sing. this company was driving truck to job site has about 120,xxx miles on it. they stopped at the office for their daily morning safety meeting,truck running beautifull, killed the truck went in had their meeting, walked out to the truck got in it and it would not crank or even roll over. they called their mechancinc, he came and picked it up with a trailer brought it to the shop and has been unable to unlock the engine. Tried rocking the engine, pulled the starter, and tried to roll it over by hand/prybar, nothing. Short of pulling the engine and starting on the bottom end looking for tight siezed bearings is there something that i should look for in order of improtance as this would make a really nice farm truck around the place. I thank each and all of you for thinking about this and sharing your ideas with me short of removing the radiator cap and driving a new one back under it.
