    The truck spinning over turns 90 rpm’s nothing more. It has the three filter system on it and sitting here has no fuel in filter base. I prime truck up with primer pump and just flows back into the tanks not priming the motor. Battery voltage is up at 12.5 and drops at the starter to 7.8 while cranking. Trucks whipping my butt. Help

    Here's a thread on your issue, its Volvo, and from 2013, but fuel is fuel.
    Sounds like check valve is stuck open.

    Battery voltage dropping to 7.8 while cranking sounds like a problem all it's own.
