Bought LB7 04/13. Won't start 04/16.

As I stated before I have zero experience with diesels. I have plenty of experience with women, but am 37 and single, so can probably offer no good advice. -

Put in the new bleeder screw. No luck, just continues to turn over with no spark. Attempted to prime and start, also no luck. Took about 10 pumps before it felt "full". Opened bleeder and fuel came out fine, no bubbles or anything that I saw. -

Bought my first diesel 04/13 and thought I got a true gem; a 1 owner 2003 2500 LB7 with 76k miles from an 85 year old man. 3 days later I can't get it to start. Some background. When I went to show my dad the truck before I bought it, it started for 3 seconds then died. Owner said could be...
