Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cranking 24 V without Starting

[SnoKing]

The instructions for my new turbo say prime it and then to crank the engine over until you have oil pressure WITHOUT starting to assure lube to the new turbo before starting it the first time. Is there a relay or fuse that you can pull that will allow this? SNOKING

 

[Bob Wagner]

just fill the inlet of the turbo and spin the wheel. you are good to go. prelube is all that should be needed

 

[Devan Manis]

you can pull the fuel system relay, and that will keep it from starting.

I always do what Bob suggests, but, just incase you wanted to crank without firing up for whatever reason then open the panel at the driver's end of your dash and pull Fuse 9. A couple examples where this is useful would be starting for the first time after having the truck sit 3 or more weeks, and starting up after changing your oil.
