I read that but question before I go do that, will air get in the pump if i take that off?

Yes air will get into the fuel system. You will have to crack the injector lines you can easily access, such as 1,3,4,5 and bleed them till you get a steady flow of fuel out. Bleeding the fuel lines is a 2 person job, one to watch and tighten the lines back up while the other cranks it over.

One last question where can I get a check valve if its bad.

OKay I went to this guy in town that does performance diesel stuff he has a shop and hes really good he told me that it wasnt my overflow valve or it would be hard starting in the mornings which it is not. He told me to switch the relay above the a/c clutch i did that and it didnt do anything differnt he also said check that #9 area you were telling me about. I ended up getting about 5 full turns out of all 3 of those nuts or fittings whatever you want to call them. Its still not starting right up, I havnt drove it much yet could there still be air in there? if so how long will it take to clear up.

There could be residual air in the lines still but I doubt it. If you are still experiencing hard start issues you need to start going over then entire fuel system from tank to injectors. Just look for any wet spots or pin holes. If everything looks good then I would say your IP is going under.

Lets pray its not the IP lol..Thanks for all the help man I appreciate it. Ill check everything out when I put this lift pump on tomorrow.

You bet man, glad to help. Let me know if I can help you anymore. :c:

Lol okay while your on might as well ask, any tips or anything I should know about putting this AirDog Raptor 100 on tomorrow?

Install is pretty straight forward. Just follow the instructions and double check your work. Also allow yourself ample time to complete the install. It can be a real PITA to insert the push lock fittings into the hose, some type of lube such as diesel fuel can help get them to slide in.
