Hello again guys, I finally got my truck to start and run from the key. So electrical issues averted. I had someone help me bleed the lines and got fuel into the lines and it runs great. Problem is I think I have an air leak. In the mornings it is a monster to start because it’s been sitting all night in the cold. I don’t know where to start to look for a leak. I had a leak before and I replaced all the o-rings on injectors, as well as pressed on the shrader valve until fuel comes out consistently. It left me hanging at home this morning. I can’t put much money into it. I am trying to save for other things. Thank you in advance for advice.

take the fuel filter off, if it's not full, you got an air leak from the pump back somewhere. Filter head, olives, etc. Do it first thing before you try and start in the am.
