Duramax Diesel 2002 Chevrolet 2500
Started the truck this morning, ran for two minutes then died. Has power, turns over and is not giving me any computer codes. No dead fuses either.
I took off the fuel filter and it looked all good, I put it back on and primed it (When it's primed all the way the nipple on the bottom of the filter leaks, I imagine this is a normal overflow).
I have a feeling that the truck won't run because of something to do with the Fuel Filter sensor but I'm not quite sure, any ideas?

I dont think anything should leak when the fuel system is primed and dumping diesel in the intake wont prove anything either. Whatever is leaking on the filter housing is probably sucking air rather than fuel while you are cranking the engine over. Look at that a little closer. Could also be a bad check valve or fuel pressure regulator allowing the fuel system to loose prime after sitting

When we had this problem in the Army with the GM diesels it was almost always the glow plugs.
However since it started and ran, I would check out a few more things. Can you prime it directly with a small amount of diesel fuel or starter fluid into the intake? If it fires up, then you can rule out the glow plugs and go directly to the fuel delivery system.
