(awe ye i had 15psi fuel pressure while i was cranking ) vp going south? computor?or what? fuel pressure gauge is on down stream side of filter PLEASE HELP! I HATE NOT KNOWING IF THAT 24VER IS GOING TO START NOW

My guess is that you had some water in the fuel system. Once it started the heat from the motor melted it so the truck ran fine. Next time add some fuel treatment

Now for the important stuff did you get your elk?

Just to add to bigfoot. Check the fuel filter container. Drain the thing, there could be water in it. Especially if you got some bad fuel, or if it's been awhile since your last filter change. How is it doing now since that morning?
