Question about starting...

[landon05]

Im not sure as this is my first diesel vehicle, but on all other diesels I have been in once you turn the key to the on position you hear a seires of beeps to let you know dont crank the truck before... Now on my 2002 F250 7.3 liter it doesnt do that.. Is this normal?? Could ther previous owner done something to cancel out the beeps?? curious

The Beep has nothing to do with anything other then "put yo damn seat belt on foo"

Thats it.

Watch the WTS light, when it goes out your good to go...

The seat belt reminder is different from the beeps at the begining/ when you turn the key on.

The beep has NOTHING to do with starting the truck. NOTHING...

It doesnt tell you when to start, but its not the seat belt. I think were both on the same page.
