6.0 wont start/ keep running
My friend showed up to work today saying his truck wouldn't start. He was more than upset. So I asked him for the key. I turned the key on (heard the fuel pump) and cranked the motor. It started for about 10 seconds. It sounded like it was running on 4 cylinders. I waited a few minutes, and tried again. It just cranked and cranked with a few hopeful sputters in between. I dont smell diesel, nor do I see any leaks. The oil pressure guage went right up and it sounded like it wanted to start, but no-go. Any ideas?

Finally got her started, I'm thinking a fuel filter issue. We'll find out tomorrow right? I could smell a lot of raw diesel out of the tailpipe (and see it). I dont like the assumption of it being a fuel filter. Anyone heard of this problem?

Sorry BPoFD, should have refreshed my page b4 replying. He was losing fuel about two weeks ago (smelling a leak). I investigated, and found the filter bowl cap cracked. He has a new one on order and double boubled the old one until it comes in.... I was thinking they were related, but dont see any leakage from the cap....
