Archived Truck won't start

[PLaFrombois]

Just picked up a 2003 3500 a couple of weeks ago, and had some time to change the fuel filter. Changed the filter, tightened the top of the housing, and bumped the starter 3x's. Truck turned over, but wouldn't start. Repeated the procedure, still nothing. Don't have the right tools yet, but was able to open three of the six injector lines. Turned the key to try and bleed any air out. Fuel came out of the lines. Tightened the lines, bumped the starter 3x's, and still won't start.



What am I missing?

Have you tried holding the accelerator down while cranking? That worked for me when I had a loose injector line that allowed air in. Mike

Got it started. Must've had lots of air in the system.
