6.0 wont start after fuel filter change

So I changed my fuel filters and cleaned my egr valve today to try and fix my rough idle problem and no warm start, and it went from starting cold before the changes to no start at all now.

I have cranked it over and over with no luck not sure if I just havnt done it enough and there is still air or what but ive got no luck here, and now my batt's are dead.

Any tips>

First, what filter did you use? I've had a problem with a non-OEM filter not opening the valve in the bottom of the upper filter and not allow fuel in.

Second, when you change the filter, turn on the ignition and wait 30 seconds, turn off. Repeat a couple of times to prime the system.

Bad choice and good place to start. Get an OEM set, lube the O rings with motor oil or vaseline, not diesel, and screw back on till cap bottoms out and then torque to spec. Key on key off for 30 seconds 3 times and then start.
