Exclamation morning air bound

What year is your truck? If you have a 12v it may be air in the fuel lines...

You might PM a mod to move this to the more appropriate section.

Good place to start is replacing the return line in red below with about 2' of 5/16" diesel rated hose. I can guarantee that this line will eventually fail on 100% of 12 valves.
