2005 chevrolet duramax won't start

[BIGSTEVE]

Parked the truck after plowing snow and came out next day and would not start. It try's to start but will not stay running. Also the gauge's will not work like they did. Put key in and turned on ignition switch gauges used to come up before starting now they all lay flat to the left. Batteries are brand new. Truck acts like it wants to go and is starving for fuel ????http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif

Sounds like your factory fuel filter housing needs new seal kit from merchant automotive http://www.merchant-automotive.com/deluxeduramaxfuelfilterheadrebuildkit.aspx If you have to pump the plunger over 30 times before it gets hard I'm betting its got a bad seal somewhere.

On the gauges i don't know what to tell you other than maybe the batteries got pulled down pretty good from trying to start

Just thought of something, are you running any kind of anti-gel fuel additive? With the cold weather diesel will start to gel up and get thicker. And maybe your cp3 is having a hard time sucking the thick fuel. Go to the parts store and get some "diesel 911" I think power service makes it? And add to fuel Tank. And after that fuel tank of fuel put in some howes lubricator diesel treat.
