You could try it and.......if the compression is low.......you'll get more heat by towing it.

You need to get the vehicle up to about 30 mph, however, and then drop it into drive and the pump will be turning fast enough to engage the clutches.

The key should be set into the #2 position for 15-20 seconds just before you drop it into drive.

You'll probably have to tow it to this speed.........just be careful if it starts......

19D,

The idea using tow/push start is to get the engine turning much faster than the starter will turn it. Even if the compression is low, the temperature inside the pre chambers will get hot enough to ignite the fuel if the engine is turned fast enough. That's if there is fuel there to ignite and the timing isn't way off.

30 MPH is fast enough for a manual transmission but not for an autonatic. U might have to go 50 MPH or more with an automatic trans to turn the engine fast enough to start.

well, the first test is so low that it wont start that way for sure. about 220 tested cold is the minimum for starter starting.

the problem with a worn diesel is starting from cold. after you get it started it will run forever usually.

the cylinders may have dried out from sitting. this could be a factor of your type of oil and or washing all of the oil off the cyliders earlier when trying unsuccessfully to start.

so if you have a good starter and good injectors, and fuel supply and the glow plugs are working it may turn out to be ok once you get it up and running and get some clean oil in it etc.

good luck
