I havent been able to work on it much last two days i have been working on my toyota front end, when i bleed it i cracked the hard lines that go into the heads like i was told to in previous post. Is the a different or better way to get air out of the fuel lines?

Its been a long time but I  pretty sure there is a large ?allen head? plug in back of head to bleed air/fuel out on each side.  My truck was 01 so it was a pain to get at on driver side.  Air you bleeding is before injectors? 94 year may not be same.  After research it seems your truck may not have this.  Make sure fuel filter bowl is always full when you are bleeding inj.  Do 1 at a time working back.  O rings in supply lines can fail allowing air/fuel leaks and fuel pickup in tank could be faulty.  Make sure iit has lot good fuel.  Don't overheat starter.  Bleed valve on inj. pumps as well.  Lift pump could be bad?  Lots to check....

alright sounds good, i havent found anything about a valve to bleed air either but ill take a close look at the back of the heads tomorrow(still been working on that toyota after work). today i turned the 7.3 over and it fired up and idled good for the first time, i let it idle for about 20sec then revved it up some and drove away, made it to the end of the driveway(about 75 yards) and it lost power and stumbled then died and wouldnt start again, let it sit while i worked on toyota and then turned it over again and it fired up but only for 2 seconds again. So.. looking more like air is what im thinking    really wish i could just bleed it at injectors.

What do diesel techs make nowadays?  @jackelope

I hear there's a pretty big shortage for GM/Ford/Dodge diesel technicians.
