Sounds like you are definitely having a fuel problem. You might check your fuel pump...you are definitely going to have to prime your fuel system though.
I have a 1982 chevy silerado with a 6.2 diesel. The truck was running all of a sudden NO throttle response and then the truck just shut off. I cant get it started again? I have NO fuel thru the fuel lines to the cylinders? Please Help if you can. Thanks!
