It will take some time to start it up... Cranking sessions of about 15 seconds, then give the starter a rest. Make sure there is oil in the HPOP reservoir as well...

Then make sure to run the crap out of it for 50-100 miles...

best advise i can give is hook it up to another diesel that has a very good alternator and use the power off of that truck
even after getting it started the first time though you will still have trouble starting the next couple hundred miles

helps if you disable injectors, the hpop will be able to pressurize the rails quicker

1st make sure high pressure oil pump is full of oil, then crank engine over about a minute then check to make sure hpop is full of oil. Then crank for another minute. If high pressure oil pump stays full. After about 6 or 7 trys it should start. When I do it I all ways have the tank heater pluged in for a few hours.
