runnin dry

picked up a 96 3500 truck with 6.5l turbo, ran great before the fuel line between the tank and the lift pump rusted out, replaced the line and installed a new lift pump, fuel through the bleed but nothing through the injector lines, cranked it so much had to replace the starter and I put new battery's in it while I was at it, cranks like crazy, all injector lines are loose at the injectors and have gotten very little if any fuel to an injector or two. anyone got any tricks? I even tried a vacuum pump to suck the fuel through, no luck, did running this thing outta fuel screw up my almost 200K IP pump? I got a 97 and swapped out the PMD from a runner so that not it. anyone? thanks in advance.

it's very possible the ip bit it from fuel starvation.
I just lost one on my ford after running out of fuel.

Sucks that you had to dump THAT much $$$$ right after getting it. I suppose if it was 'low' enough, might make you feel better. But, at least it's a $1000 IP vs having to rebuild the motor for something.....

only paid 1400 for it and it is a nice clean truck.......got it cheap cause it didn't run!!!

ok! new pump installed today! nice labor day! she runs perrty good, she's smoking quiet a bit but the guy I got it from was dumping raw fuel down the intake and I figure theres some raw fuel in the exhaust pipes....so I throw the tech 2 on her and put it in timing mode and the pumps actual timing is in the 12's.....way off! maybe that's causing some of my smoke? anyway, tomorrow is another day! any feedback on the smoke? seems lite grey, no pressure out of the cooling system but lots of blow by outta the crankcase, lotta **** was sprayed down the intake though. everything from diesel to brake clean!!
