followed instructions on this site http://wiki.dieseltruckresource.com/..._Filter_Change
Bumped starter a few times, started it, it ran for 5-10 seconds and quit. I've bumped it a few more times, made sure there's fuel in canister (I opened valve and it came out at good pressure) Bumped it some more and it won't start.
I wish changing fuel filter was easier than this, this is frustrating.

 

You should do it 2-3 time to purge the air you might need to open 3 injector lines ,have a helper crank on it as you close the injector lines one at a time as it starts , I usually open the 3 easyest

 

Thanks, truck runs now!

 

Good news! Did you have to open the injector lines?
I always fill the filter with fuel before installing it. Never had any starting problems.

 

opened couple of injector lines until it started squirting out

 

Sounds like your transfer pump is going out. Min fuel vol is 45OZ @ 25 sec. If below this amount replace the pump.
