Fuel filter change with push-button start

[Penndel Zeke]

I didn’t see any mention of how to cycle the fuel pump after a fuel filter change when you have the push-button (keyless)start. Will pushing the button without depressing the brake pedal cycle it?  If the brake pedal is depressed, it will try to start.

Yes hold the start button down for a few seconds and you’ll hear the pump cycle, do this a few times.

Do not press on the brake that would cause  the engine to want to start.

One thing I didn’t realize until I changed mine on this new setup - there’s no bleeder and it may take a few starts/running it a bit to get to the point it starts immediately like normal. First change I was wondering if I did something wrong cause it cranked for a bit before starting, but it went away after the first drive. Just FYI if you notice the same.

It should prime by when start button is pushed, but foot not on brake. 

 

L5P supplement says let it prime (run the lift pump) for something like 30 seconds -- then try to start.

You can push the Start engine button on the dash until you hear a chime and the light turns green on the button.  This will engage the fuel pump and prime the fuel housing.  I would do this about 3x before trying to start the truck after a fuel filter change.  Just remember to not press the brake otherwise it will attempt to start the truck.

Happy new Year !

A little off topic but has anyone attempted to drain fuel from the fuel filter housing ?

I did a little research and got the torx bit and a inch pound torque wrench 

I took out the plug and nothing came out.

Does anyone have any experience in this ??

I was going  to just drop the filter and replace it r but I only have 12K on it 

Thanks

You only need to loosen the torx screw a few turns, then as you loosen the housing with the 36mm 6 sided socket it will drain from the bleed port on the torx screw ( need air to enter the top of the housing as it is loosened )
