Rebuilt fuel bowl and now no start

I rebuilt my fuel bowl today and replaced all of the hoses from the pump as they were cracked. The heater was the only thing broken so I didn't hook it back up. The truck won't start now. The fuel bowl is full of diesel. Diesel sprays out of the shredder valve. Checked the oil in the in HPOP as well and it is good. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ed

Check the wiring to the IPR first , & also make sure the main harness on the side of the bowl is plugged in

No. I cranked the motor for maybe 10 seconds and then realized I needed to add fuel to the bowl. I'm guessing I've got air in the injectors.

I am having the same issue. I rebuilt the fuel bowl and replaced a bunch of lines. I pre filled the bowl and the truck started right up and ran for 4 -5 minutes. and then was starved of fuel and died. the bowl is full of fuel and I have cranked and cranked but it wont start. the hpop reservoir is full and the wts light works normal and all fuses are good.
I really need this truck running soon. any advise?

So whatever happened with this? I want to rebuild mine as well but don't wanna have the same issue. It's my only vehicle at the moment.
