the way i do it. crack the the black bleeder screw at the top of the fuel filter. crank engine for five seconds,stop, let starter rest for 2 minutes. look for air bubbles coming out of bleeder. crank again and wait for fuel to appear. this process should take a couple of tries. once you have fuel at the bleeder, close it and truck should start in a minute . this process assumes you have a good mechanical pump and good glow plugs. thanks. mark

Thanks mark. The glow plugs are new just replaced them. The pump is the one on the truck so I will found out how good it is.
