New injectors
Hey how long does it take to fill the injectors I did the whole cranking over and cracking a line but I feel like i've been cranking forever and nothing is squirting out the lines. oh and I messed up one of my batteries in the process.

Best procedure is to leave the lines completely undone at the injector, with clean paper towel between lines and new injectors, open the throttle wide open and crank the engine over 20 seconds wait for cool down 1 minute, crank another 20 seconds. With the throttle wide open you should see some fuel now beginning to wet the paper towel.
Hook the lines back up, it should fire, for the first start, throttle wide open until it fires helps to get the fuel moving, and air out.

You might check and see if you have fuel in the filter. If not, check the fuel pump to see if it is working. If the pump is working then fill the filter with fuel or diesel cleaner, re-install the filter, then try starting the truck.

Well when I had the injectors off and was cranking I saw little dropplets of diesel coming out of the injectors is that to little? should mean that the fuel pump is working not sure if its an electric or mechanical I don't know how to check that. Cause I put the lines back on and cranked it and not even a sputter.

Hey so on bleeding the injectors I don't have to do the whole cracking the lines and letting it bleed? i'm trying to get this thing running asap. I cranked it a few times last night I swear I smelled diesel around the exhaust maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.
