I'm on the home stretch of EGR cooler, oiler and turbo replacement. It's been a long project with only a couple hours here and there to work on it. This forum has been a great resource. Thank you guys for all the great posts and responses to my dumb questions.

The new Turbo instructions say to pour some oil into the oil supply port, attach oil supply line and then crank engine without starting until there is oil pressure. Then start and idle for several minutes.

What's the best way to guarantee crank-no start. Can I just pull the fuse(s) on the FICM or fuel pump? It seems to me like disconnecting the FICM would be best since would allow both the oil and fuel systems to build pressure. What do you guys think? Anything else that requires caution on start up?

I'm nearing the end of my EGR/OC project as well, and my Bullet Proof instructions also say to prime the engine before starting it. My plan was to use a remote starter switch and just turn the engine over that way for a little while. I don't know any other way to do it. ?

That should work for the oil system but I don't think it will do anything for the fuel system.

Well the 6.0 won't start without oil pressure, so I would just crank on it until it starts. That's what I did with mine. Or you can just "bump" the engine several times, turn the key and let it start to crank and then turn the key back.
