come on fellars I'll take a educated guess on this one all i've been doing is pusing in the fuel pressure valve and letting fuel flow out.

My guess is keep letting air out of the schrader valve. Then run the truck good and hard for 10 minutes. If you get nothing but fuel out of the valve their should be no air left.

Drive it. If it's not running right in 10 miles you have other trouble.
