Won't start, need help/advice
Changed the oil today as well as the fuel filters-that is quite the messy procedure on a 4x4. During all of that, I was also trouble shooting my TBC fault and in that process, I pulled and moved one the maxi fuses (i think they are called), pink 30A and put in the 101 location to get power to my TBC. Like a dummy, I didn't note where that fuse came from. And I don't have an owners manual to know what is what-google is bringing up some random stuff. So I'm not sure if I pulled a fuse that is need to start. I don't know that that is my issue.
I followed the priming instructions of turning the key on 3 times for 30 seconds before starting and have tried it several times since. I cracked the filter cap under the hood and retightened it thinking it may help with pressure but that didn't work. All id does is crank, crank, crank
Need help please.

If I'm correct it takes more than 3 turns to get all of the air out of the system. Try removing your upper fuel filter have a friend turn the key and check for fuel in the filter bowl. That happened to me my first fuel filter change.

That's what I was doing. My brother is coming over now to lend a hand. Thanks for the quick response.

Do you have scangauge or any other engine monitoring device. You will need to know a few engine vitals to try and chase down this problem. I would also double check that fuse you pulled

Does your scan tool need power from the OBDII port to operate? If so, are you saying it powers up but doesn't function? Did it ever communicate with your truck before or is this a new symptom?
