Good evening,
First, thank you all for advice on another thread regarding recommended glow plugs (Motorcraft all the way).
So, I've finish replacing the glow plugs (no breaks!), fuel injectors, and return lines. I also had to disconnect some of the steel fuel lines to check if they were still in good shape. Presumably, there's air in the system now. Is there a recommended procedure to crank the truck after doing all that? A friend recommended I bleed off the air by loosening the FIs. Is this a good idea and if so is there a recommended order to do so?
Basically, I don't want to risk burning out the starter by turning it over for 3-5 mins to clear the air.
Thank you for your advice!
