    I got it all installed. New filters in. Started truck, ran for about a minute and shut off. Won’t start back. WTH!

    The one you bought looks to be the boost sensor.

    The cat filters said not to add fuel. Could I have lost prime?

    This is probable, tiny ether shots while cranking will get it running, or if you have air, pressurise a tank and crack the bleeder open, she'll go

    Yes, I had them switched. I didn’t realize one has an adapter on it.

    Never add fuel or oil to filters....ever.
    Yeah, I would bet you lost prime.

    What model truck?

    Assuming you have a passenger side or rear intake?

    My t600 does pass side but i just crack open the air filter on top of engine and shoot at it vaugely, itll gradually suck enough to work., dont overdo the ether
