im not even quite sure if the OPs problem is a fuel one, it seems more like a misfire or MAF/sensor issue but he says that there wasn't any check engine trouble codes sent,usually when a vehicle behaves like his a code will be thrown but anyway he cleaned the MAF and seems to be running OK now.Ill agree to disagree. Pump wont prime until crank.
Ill take the techs word until i see different on paper, plus
Replacing fuel filter few months ago, truck took a few seconds upon initial startup.
Also if it primed without crank, then the good ole urd kit ovetightening hose clamp leading to leak fiasco wouldnt happen at startup as the system should prime before cranking as u say.
Maybe its a 2nd gen thing
Just wanted to share some info that may come in handy at a later date. 1 cannot rely on the good ole noise to ensure fuel pump runs. Facts were posted in effort to clear things up is all.im not even quite sure if the OPs problem is a fuel one, it seems more like a misfire or MAF/sensor issue but he says that there wasn't any check engine trouble codes sent,usually when a vehicle behaves like his a code will be thrown but anyway he cleaned the MAF and seems to be running OK now.
