keeps losing prime?!?
hi, i have a 95 2500 6.5L TD VIN F.
i did the fuel filter a few days ago, read how to do it (fill bowl, let it purge etc)
it ran fine, then the next morning it ran for 30 secs and died. re purged it and it ran all day if i didnt shut it off. let it sit for 2 hours and did the same thing.

proper way to bleed or idk?!?
thanks in advance guys

If you are still loosing prime you have leak or sucking air from some where
After running all day or just few mins it should prime it self
Look in the engine valley but fuel housing see if there fuel in the valley

In my case the problem was the fuel shut off solenoid. Not only it was losing prime, it was also leaking when idling; the leaking diesel ends up dripping from the hole in the transmission bellhousing. New FSOS fixed that.
i put a new lift pump in, and it helped, yet it was still doing the same thing.
idk if its primed the wrong way or what, but i also found a leak in the fuel lines, that i fixed. it runs great, esp, with the new turbo-master that i got
except when i punched it it started bucking, farting and wanted to die, and it took about 30 secs of idling before i could drive it normal again.
WTF COULD THAT BE?!?
the pmd had been moved, new lift pump, new fuel filter, idk what to do
