Bad news this evening. After getting all running strong.. seemingly... had s total shut down today. Truck just died 2 miles from home. Thought I ran out of diesel, so went and got some. Then looked st fuel filter... was full. Bled all for bubbles. No avail. Couldn’t get to start...
I have a diagram, but only GY I see is for heater, which doesn’t make sense to me why it would be attached to ignition switch. Heater works, so far as I can tell... it IS 100 degrees in NC though

Can anyone guide me about these loose connections at start switch? Tried to look at wiring diagram but having a hard time interpreting. The GY and W look like they need to be on starter switch, but not sure what they do or where to connect. Running fine without.
Got everything bled and running strong. Put some transmission fluid in new fuel filter before i bled everything though. Started right up. When I was bleeding before, had no resistance on lift pump, so turned engine a couple times to get oriented correctly. 👍

Fuel in the current filter looked clean though, no sediment in bottom. Not really sure what I'm looking for, but it...
That’s interesting. There was an electric pump in the cab that wasn’t attached to anything when I bought truck. Removed it cause I didn’t know what it was for, and it wasn’t hooked up
