Q: Truck Wont Start
After truck breaking down on me 5 min into a drive, I got it towed home. Replaced the fuel filter then the battery. It started and I let it run for about 10 minutes went to start it 3 hours later and it won't start. Battery has good charge according to dash gauge, checked fuel filter to make sure it was installed in correct direction, added a couple gallons of gas, plenty of oil. Truck turns over and sounds normal but doesn't start. Can't figure it out please help. Truck SAT most of the winter maybe started twice between Nov and now.
