Okay below is the results of your suggestions:

Turn on your ignition, go to the injection pump. Unhook the large pink wire leading to the pump and reconnect. You should hear a click when you do this. This is the fuel solenoid clicking in and out.

When the pink wire is unhooked I didn't hear it click - putting it back on it clicked. I repeated the procedure to double check - definite clicking. Sounds like a solenoid.



You said the glow plug solenoid is clicking. how long is it staying on? it should be longer than 2-3 seconds cold

Wait light stays on for 6 seconds then turns off - but the solenoid continues to cycle on/off for a good 15-20 seconds after the light turns off.




Grab a test light. Unhook each glow plug, connect the one end of the light to 12+, touch the other end to the terminal on the GP. If it lights, the glow plug is working. Do this for all 8

I couldn't get the wire pulled off the spade connector on the glowplug for fear of snapping the small spotweld. Do you have ot do anything(push a little tab, stick a screwdriver in a slot?) to the black connector or just pull it straight off? can I pull on the green wire or will it ruin the connector? I proceeded to do your test with the green wire still connected.

Don't have a test light. If I did the light would turn on. I have a voltmeter. I get 12.3 volts when doing your test.



With someones help, have them crank the truck while you open the bleeder screw. You should get a steady stream of fuel.

Fuel comes out the air bleed forcefully - (jet stream). IS THIS THE ONLY BLEED FOR THE WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM?



IS IT POSSIBLE MY FILTER IS CLOGGED?

What wire do I disconnect when I want to "prime" my fuel system after I swap in ANOTHER new filter?

Are there any other possibilities? I read somewhere the gas cap for gastank was a problem, I opened and closed mine. The seal is good.


Thanks for your prompt responses.
