I cycled fuel pump many times today, trying to get all the air out from putting a filter in it. It did start and ran really rough for a minute.

"I cycled fuel pump many times today, trying to get all the air out from putting a filter in it. It did start and ran really rough for a minute."
So did the problem show up right after changing the fuel filter?
If so I would definitely check to make sure the filter gasket ring didnt roll or kink. Also check and make sure filter housing cap didnt cross thread or go on crooked. no it started running really rough on the 18 mile trip to town, i figured a filter couldn't hurt and put one on it at the parts store, things went down hill from that point on. truck would start but man it was running dang rough and sounded like was gonna fly apart. shut it off and called a tow truck. after sitting in the driveway a few days tried starting and no joy. now will start but only runs a minute or less then dies.

When my high pressure oil pump went bad the check engine came on.Cotton doesn’t have check engine light but never know.
We had one that it was an issue with the high pressure oil pump, and never would throw any codes, and finally had to take it in to figure it out, turned out it was the hpop.

cycled the fuel pump 3 times and didn't try to crank it over prob 4 times yesterday and she did started and run late in the day!! ran pretty rough tho.sounds like i got at lest one injector not working, going to try doing the same deal today and crank it over later. still got most of the intake plumbing off so can pull a valve cover off if need to.

Cotton pull both values covers and pull all your glow plugs and get someone to crank it over if you get liquid you have a bad injector.
No matter where you go there you are.
