problem starting truck

I have a 2008 f-350 6.4 diesel, I had to replace injectors and hi press fuel pump. Truck had to sit for awhile before i got to fix it now when I try to start it it cranks for about 2-3 seconds pauses and cranks foranother 2-3 seconds and stops. any ideas on what could cause this. thanks

Sounds like you need to prime the fuel system. From what I remember you turn the key but do not start 6 times until the fuel pump cuts off, then try starting. Given that you replaced the HPFP and injectors I'd do it about 12 times to make sure.


I could be wrong, but that's the first thought that comes to mind.
