You should try to learn a little more about your machine there. Just sayin'.

Problem is many of today's auto techs can do better when there is a computer. This 12v Cummins is quite literally more of a big rig engine than it is an auto engine. Most diesel pickup engines are quite computer controlled. A dedicated truck shop would have seen more of these style injected engines than an auto shop. If they can't get it bled it would be best to DIY. As mentioned make sure that fuel filter is replaced if it hasn't been.
