OK Guys here goes:
A couple of days ago I went to go to work and the truck started ran about 15 seconds and shut down restarted and only ran 5 seconds and shut down.It has done this before for a month if I dont rev it up and get the oil/water light out and the oil pressure up right away. Oil is full. I took the 15/16 nut off that is under the fuel filter and the oil level is about a 1/4 I up on the big spring. Does it need more in that resivoir and can i fill it another way ? Maybee thru the switch on top of the tank??? Also one of the gp selinoids is cracked on the small post. Will this cause it not to run? Thanks in advance and have a happy thanksgiving.

That is the anti drain back check valve. take the plug (small allen head socket) out of the HPOP reservoir in front of the fuel filter to check the level. which one of the relays has the crack (Front or Back) front one is the GP and the back one is the IAH.
