The oil level is fine, I added 14litrs, at time of change. If it helps this not my first time changing the oil. After changing the truck fired back up, ran for 5 min.shut down check for leaks, no leaks. then this morning it rolls over but doesn't fire.
Again THanx Halfbolt
P.S. IF the oil level is down where would it go?

14 liters is too much oil by about two liters.If your level is low something fishy is going on. Page 7 Overview: Specifications a couple liters stay in the HPO system.

1) What brand of oil filter did you use?
2) Did you snap the filter into the cap before screwing the cap down?
3) Is the oil filter cap seated flush with the housing (secure seal)?
3) Did the cap get cracked in some way?
4) What is level of oil on tip-stick?
5) Did you change fuel filters at the same time and this may be a cause (just looking at all options)?

have you removed the oil filter to make certain nothing is clogged? I really don't believe in coincidences. if it ran fine until then i would say do check everything over that you touched and recheck.

Beach, I use NAPA gold series made by wix, 0-40 XDR esso like allways and the filter and cap comes as one unit, there were no leaks from the filter unit after install,and restart. Would a Overfill situation cause an no start condition? Say 1-2 litres over.
Thanx again Halfbolt

Using the wrong filter may result in the drain valve in the oil filter housing not being closed. If this happens, the oil can recirculate and possibly not develop the pressure to start up (interlocked at 5 psig on the low pressure oil system and 500 psig on the high pressure oil system).
An overfill situation can be a problem, but not to start-ups.
