Been seeing too many guys skip the priming step on injection pumps lately

I was helping a buddy in Nashville last week with a 5.9 Cummins that wouldn't start after a pump swap. He'd just bolted it on and cranked, figured the lift pump would handle it. Took us 45 minutes with a priming tool and a lot of cussing to get it going right. If he'd just taken the extra 10 minutes to manually prime the system first he'd have saved himself a headache. Why do people think they can skip the basics like that?

Borrowed a Snap-on priming tool from my buddy and had my 6.0 running in 15 minutes flat.

Man that tool is a lifesaver, I borrowed one and had my 6.0 purring like a kitten in no time.
