Did you loosen the bleed screw to prime it and make sure that the truck is getting diesel? I would check that first. Also check all the connections on the wires to the filter.

Either of the above....Sometimes the o-ring will slip out of its channel as you tighten the filter. Just go back over everything again.

When bleeding the air out, once you tighten the screw, give it a few more pumps until you feel good pressure. Good luck.

Or you could prefill the filter and never have to worry about priming again

That isn't the best thing to do if you don't have a pre filter since you will be putting a lot of unfiltered diesel straight into the injectors. JMHO.

Well, I wonder what it ended up being? He must've made his trip ok, though.....
