As the title states, I replaced my old oem filter with a new oem filter just due to required maintenance. I drained the old one as much as I could via the drain on the bottom, spun it off, installed the new one. Pretty straight forward.
Primed it, bled the bottom of new fuel filter. Started truck, it took about 3 or 4 seconds of cranking to start now. Weather it sits for 5 min or 5 hours it now requires much more cranking to start. I didn't over tighten the filter nor is is loose, installed a new o-ring on the bottom plastic piece. No idea but definitely now has air in line and definitely related to new filter that's the only thing that changed.

What should I try?
 
Get it idling and keep on pressing that primer for a minute or so.
