thanks, turns out I did two things opened the fuel drain valve for 1 min. and found a video on you tube about draining the upper oil reservoir located front upper section of the engine. Flushed the reservoir 3 times as recommended and the truck
started right up in the morning.

The only thing I can think of as to why either of those two things worked is that your HPOP is possibly draining back... Flushing it and adding new oil the the reservoir does nothing. That oil does not stay in the res because it is not a closed system. It is constantly moving through the engine. Everytime you run the truck, the res is filled with new oil. And draining the fuel bowl, all you did was waste a couple cups of fuel on the ground...
Anyways, glad you got the truck running.

What I can say about flushing the upper reservoir is I don't think the oil in the crank case is circulating to the upper reservoir very effectively. The oil in the crankcase was recently changed and new looking. The oil I pulled out of the reservoir was black and thick. All I can say is after draining and adding a quart of oil to the reservoir and running the engine for 10 min to circulate the oil in the heads. And repeating this two more times the oil in the reservoir was significantly clearer. I'm not a rocket scientist but the way I see it thats got to be better for your injectors.
