youre gonna need alot more than 2 gallons. when i ran my truck out, it took 5-7 gallons and alot of cranking to get all that air out. I dont know about the 6.4s, but Id say its gonna be about the same.

This may occur on new trucks, trucks that have had the fuel filter or fuel pump replaced, the high pressure fuel system repaired,
