i was driving my truck and the fuel filter clogged up and killed my truck so i changed it and now i cant get my truck started. i have ran out of diesel before and it took me forever to get it started but its just not starting now i primed it and even emptied my tank and filled it with new diesel now what should i do?

 

bump

 

Remove the filter and turn the key on. This will ensure good fuel to the housing. May have to bump the starter. Reinstall the filter w/ fuel and reprime. There is a hand pump on the housing. Pump it up until you get resistance.

 

That doesnt work on a Duramax because they dont come with a factory lift pump. The CP3 draws the fuel from the tank.

25004X4- If you got one of the new style filters (TP1298B) some of them had issues with the sealing surface. Pull the filter off and check that the surface is straight and flat. If not, take the filter back and get another one. If so, start checking for a leak. Pump the hand pump until you feel it start to get hard and then crank the truck. Shouldnt have to do this more than twice to get the truck to stay running.

 

any updates?
