2008 6.4 liter. Dad changed oil, oil filter, and fuel filters. Bottom filter was filthy. Now the only way we can get it to halfway run is with a gasoline rag over the intake. Showing a wrench light and oil light. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check the oil level and make sure you have the oil filter in the right way (not real sure you can put it in wrong but ohh well) and prime the fuel system by turning on the key for 15 seconds and then turn it off and repeat a couple times. If you can get us some codes that would really help as well.

Also make sure your not leaking fuel out of one of those caps and make sure that pepcock valve is shut on the bottom filter. Are your fuel filters in the right way as well?

Fuel filters are correct also. Valve is stuck closed (will fix that another day). Got it running and died after 15-20 seconds.

Isnt there a trick to fix this when doing the fuel filters? Cant you fill the filter to prime it basically until it catches up? Im just going off an idea I heard. Not sure how true it is or if it works.

It finally started about 30 minutes ago. Warning lights went off and it is running normal. Thanks for the help guys. We are new to the 6.4.

You must have tried starting it right after the fuel filter install? Once you change the fuel filters, you MUST cycle the key atleast 8-10 times for 15+ seconds each time. Then try starting, if you ever try starting without getting it primed enough, you will suffer the same thing everytime
