Did you bleed the injectors? Last time mine gelled up I had a heck of a time getting fuel flow to the injectors.

24v’s are self priming. Before cracking lines get the old ladies hair dryer and warm the lines and pump up a bit.

24v vp44 trucks (98.5-02) are not self priming. 03 up common rail trucks are.
