No start after filter change!!!

I just changed the fuel filter and now the truck will not start.

I ran the lift pump through several cycles to prime the engine. The filter canister is full...I am getting fuel.

Any suggestions?

I just went through the same thing. After cycling the LP several times my truck still wouldn't start so I depressed the accelerator pedal to the floor, turned the key and kepted cranking until it started which was within 45 seconds. Do not run the starter for more than 60 seconds when you do this. It will overheat. If it still won't start, wait a few minutes then try it again. My truck has never failed to start using this method, which I might add, is out of the Chrysler service manual.

you might have to open a injector line at the head to bleed the air out
