2013 Freightliner Cascadia dd13 I took it for a pm and when I got it back my truck wouldn’t turn on. Keeps cranking but won’t turn on unless I spray starter fluid. It wasn’t ever doing that until I got my pm done the very next morning it started doing that . I shut it off to see if it turns back on but it won’t unless u spray starter fluid . What can it be
Truck won’t start unless I spray started fluid

Fuel shutoff valve may be closed. They may have forgot to open it after changing filter
-
Thanks I’ll look at that
-
They didn't prime ur fuel system after changing filter. Common problem with truckstop mechanics
lwlevens and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

Most likely not primed or its sucking air from somewhere, check the fuel filters including the water seperator.
First thing I would try is pumping the fuel primer 500 times, and yes I mean literally 500 times, when I change the fuel filters in my DD15, I do 100 pumps on the right hand, 100 pumps on the left hand, then rotate to 500 times.
If it doesn't start then, something else is going on.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
It was a line that was letting air in thanks though
Rideandrepair and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -

If you came out of the shop and didn't let it run about a hour to refill the lines you may have e done all that work for nothing.
Flip side now you know your truck more intimately -
