89 F-350 would not start. Started with new lift pump now have fuel to fuel filter. Bleed all the air out of fuel filter, cracked injectors truck ran for 2 minutes and then died, no start. Air bubble in fuel filter due to air intrusion and dirty filter. Replaced filter and new o-ring in filter head for heater plug. Truck ran for two minutes then died no start. New filter leaking at the bottom bowl (water Drain) Replaced filter with unit that has built in drain, no leaks. Discovered that fuel return lines were dry rotted. Went to Auto Zone and ordered kit $51.00 bucks, sorry Rus needed it in a hurry. Installed new return lines. Truck started up and ran perfect for 5 minutes while we were inside enjoying well deserved a cold beer. Through the window i could here the truck rev up and die. *** as the dog ran under the couch and the kids suddenly remembered choirs that needed done. I have heard that specific rev before on my diesel tractor and other trucks i have owned. Of course that would never happen to my wife or any other female because they never run the tank(s) that low. You guessed it I forgot to check the fuel gauge and it ran out of diesel. after some air bleeding see fired up and runs perfect.
It happens to many of us.. I just think some are way too imbarrassed to post it here. Sounds like you got a good deal on the truck too...
