The truck quit running while idling the other day & I got it to start again after priming (cycled the key about 4x) it started & ran fine to my unload destination. While unloading under high idle for pto pump it quit again. After priming it started up & ran for about 10 min. then repeat 2x to get the load off. It didn't throw a code but I could obviously tell it wasn't getting fuel. The fuel pump was replaced new in March 2019. I limped towards the home shop I use & it quit 3x on the way there this time giving a check engine light but would go out after 15 seconds or so & come back to full power while driving. We're getting champagne type bubbles in a bucket of fuel from the return line. (Picture) We pulled the injectors & they're passing a vacuum test. The one & only code it gives is (Injector metering rail one pressure low). I'm thinking injectors as they are all the original ones. Your thoughts? Suggestions?

I know that if a person takes a CM871 enigne that is running perfectly fine and puts the fuel return line into a bucket, they will swear that there is air getting into the fuel. - This is simply because normal fuel-vaporizing types of cavitation happen in the return fuel system just past the primary regulator valve and nothing more. - Make sure your not chasing ghosts is all I am saying.

If its sucking enough air for it not to stay running, you will find it easily enough by pressurizing the fuel tanks to about 15 psi or so, and finding the intake leaks that way. Also might want to pressurize the tanks a bit, one at a time w line going into a bucket (checking for air) to ensure a pick-up tube is not cracked at the top.
