cummins no start

[suzukishamus516]

picked up my familys 01 2500 that sat for a few years, installed a new DDRP lift pump since the stock in tank was dead, i prime the system all the way to the vp and crack injector lines but only am getting a little fuel out, how much should it be producing when bleeding the air out, after i close the lines up and crank nothing happens it just keeps turning over, any suggestions?

Should be squirting quite a bit. You need 4500 PSI to start the engine.

im just getting like a ooze out every time the pump revolves around to that injector, you think the vp could be bad?

try and hotwire the vp44.  Google search "hotwire vp44"

After I replaced my lift pump I had to crank my truck for a long time. Crack 3 injectors that easiest to get to. Also I assume you did the bump starter truck for priming the system?

i cracked #1,#3,and #4 and i bumped the key to get fuel all the way to the vp, but im not sure how much should be coming out of the injector lines when cranking, how long did it take you, i got mad after working all day and just gave up and was going to come back to it after consulting some forums

3 open lines will put out a fair amount of fuel even just cranking. Does not sound like it is getting up there. You might bump the starter again and make sure the fuel is still getting to the pump. Might have been air bubble still in the line. Blue Chip Diesel has the hot wire VP44 info that @Me78569 mentions.

Did it sit all that time without being ran/started?  Maybe verify the fuel isn't nasty and that the filter is in good condition.  Wouldn't be a bad idea to check that you don't have any engine codes.
