Yes that oneThe little doo-dad on the HH that points towards the drivers door?
Is it just held in with 12 point socket?

Yes that one
I have a 12 point that fits great.I have had it off by carefully selecting a 6 point socket that fits.
be careful, that stubborn plug can cause a cracked HH .. it will come out, but as you are finding out it can be overly difficult for its size. .. much like my ex-wifeI have a 12 point that fits great. So great Ive killed the first ratchet.
I'll hit it with my bigger purse.

I replaced the seal on the center bolt and the seal in the canister.The more I think about this. It reminds me of our dyno room at work that had a damaged canister filter on the wall. We would prime system w/ electric pump. at 20 psi. Start engine, it run for a while than stall out if you didn't run the electric pump would not restart. But if you stood out in the room and ran the electric pump it would stay running forever. That when I noticed the fuel level in it (canister filter) was dropping while we were running. Never leaked fuel but draw air in. I would check your primary fuel filter housing again. Check the O-rings are installed correctly, Not missing a O-ring, etc.... You said you had 2psi at in tank but .5 psi at secondary so problem lies between. Primary filter housing. If you have spin on filter at primary remember you need a O-ring around the tread fitting that filter screws on too.
Mayyybe there is some crud in there after all. I am now seeing ~3PSI (up from 2) at the tank but still basically zero at the secondary filter.Pulled the 12 point Doo-dad at the HH.
no real crud in there.
I now see @Floridianson comment on how to remove the seat with screwdriver.Mayyybe there is some crud in there after all. I am now seeing ~3PSI (up from 2) at the tank but still basically zero at the secondary filter.
I can now inmmediately restart the truck with no starting fluid.
Its a hard start and probably wont start when cold - BUT it restarted.
Very possibly this. The crap in the tank was the worst Ive ever seen.The only time i ever had the ether-assist "but afterwards ran perfect" situation was with the M109A3 when i went to get it at the DRMO .. Discovered the fuel pump fuse blown, pump inop, then sticky and slow upon fuse change.. Fixed that and has been starting normal for 15 years now.. I know you said your lift pump was running fine and fuel comes out the bleeders, but I have to wonder if its running slow or perhaps gum buildup on the inside of the fuel lines.. Ran into a thick gum lining the inside the M817's lines recently

I will see if I can get it out.
