So lately I've noticed the truck is becoming harder to start it usually was after driving it I would drive far then come back after shoopping or what ever and it didn't want to start unless I gave it throttle while cranking. I noticed the problem is happening more know. When I woke up this morning it was cranking smoking trying to start but didn't until I gave it throttle happened when I was leaking work also cranked 3-4 times. I just put new glow plugs in and ops and water temp sensor all for just maintenance. Could me blocking the egr cause this I wouldn't think so. Lift pump works great just drained a full water bottle at idle didn't die. I was told the PDM was just put on not long ago but it is a Dorman part and I know Dorman isn't all that great it wasn't relocated until I got it I relocated it.

Put a piece of clear tubing on the return line coming out of the IP. 1/4" IIRC. This let's you check for air in the system .
So a piece of clear fuel line I don't know any one that sells clear that big.

Just use the cheap hardware store stuff mines been on for well over 100k. No pressure on this line.
You can also use clear chainsaw fuel line, made for gasoline.
I just have to find out how big it is. I haven't even looked where to hook it up yet

Look in my first post. 1/4" x approx 6"
Didn't see that so the one out of the ip I'm guessing I need to un bolt the fuel bowl I'm sure there's a post around here how to do it ill look it up.

No need to unbolt anything, just pull the old line off the front top fitting on IP.
