Did he check the usual 6.5 suspects, frame mounted electric fuel pump, oil pressure switch, PMD?

Fuel prime problem.

 

[MWMULES]

Turned out fuel cap vent was inop and after coming back to motel @2300 from Akron the night before from getting hitch welded it pulled a vacuum on tank over night and sucked fuel back to tank. I tried purge up under hood but could not get enough air out to run. Gimp looked up a lot of road service folks but none returned my calls. 18operator suggested World truck and trailer and there guy was there in an hour spent another 30 mins doing the same when the light bulb went off and in unison we both when Fuel filter vent on frame, he purged I cranked and van ran. I was on the road and about 2 hours later spring shackle on trailer broke, put on spare patched with muffler clamp to get to Indian Lake and trailer sits at members house till whenever! Finally got to my house Monday afternoon. Thanks to all that helped me get back,
