Not sure how you kill a 7.3L, but this guy managed to do it. Buyer beware.
Might just need a cam sensor. If those go bad the engine will not start.
Going to go look at it with scan tool in hand.Quote:

I remember spending half an hour trying to get my Jeep started when a crank position sensor went on me. Unplugging and replugging resistors and fuses, disconnecting the battery, you name it-I did it. Finally turned over and got home.Quote:

This one will be up and running by the beginning of next month. I will get it to be a daily driver for a week or so to make sure it is good to go and then up for sale it goes. I will make sure to let you know with plenty of pictures...Quote:

Did he plug the wire harness together above the drivers side VC? Is the WTS light on? Does the tach move when he cranks. These are the areas that you can check on the spot.
You keeping the stick or an auto in it?Quote:

Keeping it the way I found it, except for four new tires, rebuilt carburator and possible fuel pump, new fuel tank, and a rear wheel cylinder.Quote:
