My buddy just bought a 6.9 that was running when he bought it but now it won't run. we tried bleeding the lines but still no go. Any ideas on what it could be?

Check the glow plugs, batteries, starter, fuel shut off switch. Let us know.

do you have any fuel at the injector lines when you tried to bleed them?

How would you know if there was fuel in the injectors. I thought they were on the other side of the bleed valve?

I thought you were bleeding the lines at the injectors. I would crack a few lines loose and crank it over and see if you got fuel there.

just check if it smoking out the exhuast. smoke = fuel. Also try plugging the truck in for a couple hours and then trying to start it.
