I towed it home thursday and on friday I started working on it. The first problem was that when the truck was upside down it turned the intake manifold into an oil pan. Now that the truck was right side up I could get all the oil out.
First was to pull the spark plugs and see if the motor would turn over. I pulled all eight and turned the crank with a socket. Oil came spewing out of all eight holes. That was pretty bad but at least it turned freely. I then put a battery on it and cranked it with the plugs out. More oil came out. After a few cranks I put all the plugs back in and hooked up the wires.
I had to pull the air intake out to clean everything. The air filter was soaking with oil, the maf was covered, and the tube inbetween the throttle body and maf was still full. After cleaning all the oil out and spraying a maf sensor cleaner on the maf I put a new filter in and hooked everything back up.
I filled it with 3 gallons of gas and put the battery back on. Checked all the fluids and added when necessary. I turned the key a couple of times to prime the fuel rail and pump. Then I started the truck and it ran the first time.
Immediately it started smoking. And kept smoking and kept smoking. I ran it for about 20 mins and it still never stopped smoking! But it was running so i drove it off the street and into the driveway and called it a night.
