I keep seeing guys skip the fuel line pressure test after a filter change

They just crank it and hope for the best, but that can leave air pockets that cause hard starts or injector damage. I learned this the hard way on a 6.7 Powerstroke last spring when it took me an extra hour to get it running smooth. Do you always bleed the system, or is there a faster method that actually works?

I used to skip it too, but that Powerstroke story convinced me to take the extra minute.

Takes two seconds to let the turbo spool down before shutdown. Saves you a headache and a couple grand down the road.

Ugh, my buddy toasted an injector doing that exact thing.
