I let the engine do the work with a series of 10 - 15 seconds cranks and several minutes in between each crank. I was surprised that I needed to add about half a quart of oil to the HPOP reservoir after the first crank and then topped it off two additional times.

Mine gurgled like crazy after the first crank. I thought it was odd since engine was cold. Only heard that noise on a overheating gasser before.
I cranked mine over for 30 sec with GPs removed a few times and it still gurgled.
Mine fired after a few cranks and ran rough until I did a nice highway run

I have now run my truck for over 200 miles since completing the repair and glow plug/injector o-ring maintenance. After pulling a gooseneck with a moderate load, driving San Antonio highways and some country driving, I’m quite happy with the truck’s performance. It starts right up, pulls well, sounds good, and I got 14.7 mpg over the 200 miles. I really appreciate all of the tips and suggestions from this group - thanks again.

No noticeable smoke. It was a good thing because it was midnight and I didn’t feel like pushing it outside so I fired it up in the garage (with all four bay doors open and a good breeze).
