I must ask though, how many of you guys do this alone? Do you have a remote starter button and if so, where do you feel is best to connect?

I do it alone. No remote starter. Loosen all the lines, crank for 10 seconds, tighten the fittings that are wet, lather, rinse, repeat. When at least 4 lines are wet and tight, the engine will stay running on its own.

And what is a Cum Fitting?

It's an aluminum cylinder sitting on the driver side engine mount arms. Follow the fuel line from the small filter to the plastic end piece of the thermostat that's also the fuel inlet fitting for the fuel thermostat.

Other no start suspects include stuck IP fuel return check valve and clogged oxidation catalyst. To check the fuel return check valve, pinch the line from the big fuel filter back to the tank. If the engine starts, the check valve is stuck open. To check for a clogged cat, remove the plug on the #1 exhaust runner that takes a 17mm socket. If the engine starts, the cat is probably clogged.
