There should always be 'air' inside your fuel with almost any vehicle. It is usually in fairly minute quantities though relative to the 'fuel'. You might do a search on this for psds. I have read a few times about excessive air getting in the fuel line connections I think? Something about a cackling sound. Never seen a post about a gurgling sound. You can hear it above the engine noise? Post back if you find out what it is, I'm curious. What is the subject of earlier post, I have been out for a while and must have missed it.
Good Luck,
OK

Aside from the air that is normally entrained in the fuel there should not be any in the system. You should not be hearing a gurgling sound from the pump...you shoyuld hear it running, but the only time it gurgles is right after you change the filter or have had the fuel system open for maintenence.
Is your truck taking a long time to start, like the pump is losing it's prime every time?

well first the truck would stop running and then take almost an hour to start again. I checked fuel filter as it had air in it and the pump ran solid then it started to gurgle seeming to have air in it. Im not comfortable taking it on the road. Any ideas where the air could be coming from ie. bad fitting cracked line etc.?
