Starting my grandpas truck that has been sitting.
Hey Whats up - This is my first post. I am not much of a mechanic, I am a general contractor. So please don't respond to my post like I am a stupid asshole. My Grandpa died many years back, he had a 91 silverado. 5.7 liter, it has 115,000 miles. It is very clean, except for the ****ty chevy paint that is flaking off as usual. Well, my uncle let this truck sit for like 4 or 5 years, and I just recently bought it from him. He said it was running good up until the time he parked it. I bought a new battery, and put some gas additive in and some fresh gas,(it had like an 1/8 of a tank). I tried starting a few times, but no luck. Can someone tell me what would be the correct process of trying to start the truck? Also, it has EFI. I am not sure if that is a carburetor or what? But Should I drop gas or starter fluid in it or not. i don't want to do something stupid. If thought I would give it a try before towing it to a mechanic (which it obviously will need).
