there is a plunger on the top of the filter housing. there is also a small black plastic bleeder right next to it. crack the bleeder w/ a flat head screw driver. then pump the plunger till fuel comes out of the bleeder. once it does close the bleeder. then try to start it, you might have to plunge it while he cranks the truck to get it start but most of the time it will just start right up. and be careful w/ the bleeder they can strip really easily.
