How to start a diesel truck without a key
So you got that new diesel landrover and you don't have a key?
Well you may be able to start it.
You need to find the hot lead to the injection pump or Diesel pump.
you then need to crank the starter.
If there is a preheater - plug in the winter preheater to raise the engine temp to 140 degrees or so.
Then the diesel will start.
In this example we find an old Ford 1985 truck.
Same thing.
Hot wire the diesel pump
Turn on the block heater for 24 hours
Fire the starter
Diesel will start.
This truck sat for years.
Parked in 2009.
And just sat..
