New motor NO Start HELP!

[broketruk]

I have a 00 F350 7.3, after installing a new motor i cannot get the truck to start i am a gasoline engine builder by trade new to diesels any ideas where to start. motor turns over and over but no start. is there a way to oil prime the high pressure pump for the injectors, could this be the problem. i scanned the truck with my edge box and it came back no trouble codes.

could be that or air in the fuel system

how long have you been cranking on it. Usually a dry oil system takes a few minutes of cranking after the oil pressure gauge jumps up. just remember to let your starter cool abot 2 or 3 minutes after about 30 seconds of cranking.

Been cranking off and on for probably 3- 4 min is there any way to prime the high pressure side of the oil system

Did you fill your HPOP resevior? JJ

If you crank until the oil pressure gauge comes up and reads oil pressure then it's filling the hpop reservoir. I like to let the truck fill it's own because that way I know it's filtered oil and that I'm not going to induce any dirt into the high pressure oil system.

Do you have a scan tool that you can monitor the datastream with?
