fuel in coolant

You need to charge or replace your batteries, and You may have killed your starter too. go back and double check you plugged everything back in. These trucks need fairly healthy batteries to start. You did not randomly loose compression

A little late but the best way to restart the engine after these kind of jobs is to pull the glow plugs, unplug the injector harness, then do the cranking cycles. The engine spins much faster and doesn't flatten out the batteries. Mine usually starts after just 4-5 cycles of 10 second cranking/5 minute starter cooldown. Never have had to bleed through the schreader valve since the regulated return purges air back to the tank.

You should be able to finagle it out without removing anything else

On an OBS you have to pull the vacuum accumulator tank, thats the little black plastic box, in order to get the last injector. Two screws hold it in.

Also use a Mity-Vac vacuum pump through the glow plug hole to suck out the fluid in the cylinders first.

Hope there isn't a next time.LOL

Damn, that kind of sucks. Ive replaced a few obs injectors, I guess just never a #7... I figured it would be like a sd, where its a tight fit, but do able

Just have to peel back the insulation and two screws to remove. The worst thing is the insulation looks a little funky afterwards.
