Need help my truck does not start. When I put a fuel gauge it showed 2 psi so i replaced the lift pump but it still will not start. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

If it is a second generation, strart by loosening the banjo bolt where the fuel enters the injection pump from the fuel filter, Have someone bump the starter but leave ign. on, lift pump will run for several seconds, repeat until you have clear stream of fuel at banjo bolt, tighten bolt while fuel is coming out to prevent air from entering lines. Now loosen (about 1/2 round) the nut where the fuel lines connects to the injector on head on the front three injectors, turn the engine with starter a couple of times and you should see fuel coming out at the nut, tighten the nuts and it should be good to go, may spit and sputter when it first starts but will smooth out pretty quick. Fuel that is discharged after the injection pump is at very high pressures so be aware. bg
