If the truck has a duramax diesel then all you have to do is prime the fuel system using the pump on top of the fuel filter housing. Locate the fuel filter and that is the housing you are looking for. On top is a small plastic screw that needs to be removed to allow the air to escape. Next to the screw is an aluminum cap that if you push down on it, it will prime the fuel system. Push down on the pump until fuel comes out of the hole for the plastic screw. If you feel so inclined, replace the screw and follow the fuel line toward the front of the engine. you will see a bleeder valve. Depress the valve with a small standard screw driver and continue to pump the fuel through the line until fuel reaches the bleeder valve. This will be sufficient to make the truck run. Good luck. email: spitfire2000aircraft@Yahoo.ca
