also i didn't see the fuel shut off move in the on posistion, only when trying to start
Make sure that shut off arm goes all the way open Tony... then if it is start moving backwards to see where the loss of fuel is.. dirty filter or what.. drain the filter also... diesels are pretty easy to figure out

thanks for the help everyone. yea we got it going. it was a bad lift pump. we just rolled in 10 hours straight through
My diesel didnt have a in tank lift pump(just the primer pump) with the P pump but I installed a currant in tank lift pump about 5 years ago to up the supply pressure.. now I run 24#-30# supply pressure... you could have strapped on any small low pressure pump in line and got you home.. I have a pump in my truck just in case... good to hear your all set and back home

You may want to put a fuel pressure gauge on it.
We have a 93 that quit on us. Had it towed home
Same thing found out , bad lift pump
We then put a pyro, boost and fuel pres. on to monitor the engine.
Was told, when we bought it should put gauges on it.
May have saved me a tow bill. would had known what direction to look for the problem

I changed over all my fuel lines at the time so I cut the line so I could add in a pump IF NEEDED... but at that time I installed a in tank lift pump.. so if the in tank pump dies I can add in the in line pump to the fuel line.. I even have 12 volts wired to that in line pump location(thats a just in case set up)

Just a small heads-up that my Son Matt taught me that he was taught at the truck garage where he does mechanical work. The mechanics there always add 4 ounces of 2 cycle engine oil to the tank of their personal vehicles because of issues caused by today's low sulfur diesel fuel. They still use the fuel conditioner too.
So far I havent used any oil BUT I do use conditioner.. I only drive my rig in the summer months

awesome I am sure the guys would love to see that hemi setting in there. hey I knew it was the lift pump
I have cheated on company road trips to get us back home or to a shop... I ran a hose down the filler tube and taped a pump on the 1/4 panel with a couple of wires on it.. then the outlet hose to the pump or engine (depending if its a gas or diesel) but it works to get you home.... of course I had the stuff to do this in the cars we were running(road testing for the company).. thats why I hooked up my new fuel lines like I did with a pump prevision location
