Ok Changed glow plugs and went ahead and did o ring in inj for the heck of it. Only did pass side so far. Well I think it hydo locked now .as wont even turn over. Now What ????
 
Pull the glow plugs out and spin the engine over to get the oil out
 
I would spin it by hand first! Then crank it. but put the valve cover back on or you will have oil every were!
 
Ok thats what I have read. Tried turning it over by hand to drain but i think it was full as couldnt get it to turn all the way around. Thought I was good and went to hit key and it wouldnt go anywhere. Thx for the help guys.

ya pull the plugs out and bar it over. then once you get it all out it will take a long while to get started.
 
Be prepared for mess. Try and cover the hole with something so it doesn't spray as bad

Might vac vacuum pump and a piece of brake line to put it in the hole.
 
Ok thx for all the help. Truck is running again. Does seem to take longer to start now. Wondering if it just needs to burn all the excess off.
 
In an heui system, it will take 30-50 miles to get most if the air out, then it will start like it should.
