I was actually planning on taking my injectors out today to put my stage II's in but I don't want to start that unless I know it will run before I start that project.
If it didn't take much to run the batteries down, that may be the only problem....

get good batts on and try again, it usually wont smoke untill its cranked for a bit. as for fuel pressure while cranking, it should build within a couple of revelutions, but the max while cranking is normally 20 psi, as for oil pressure, the gauge should come up after 10 or 15 revelutions maybee more, but thats low pressure oil, not high, if the low pump is shot, your resevoir would be dry,

your gonna need your batteries fully charged for your injector swap too. it will take a while to crank it over for that also.

yes, if the lubrication oil pump is no good then your high presure pump resevoir would be dry

Ok guys... The truck started on the first turn! I must have a slow draw off of something.

Progress on removing the injectors is going well. I already have the valve covers off and waiting to start on removal of the injectors themselves.

Thanks for the help guys.
