    One thing i forgot to mention was that everything was working fine until we hit cold days, the temperatures were around 12-25 degrees. After that the cranking problem started, could it be the batteries?

    Going to replace that while i am at it as well, those would be the SRS and TRS sensors?

    Marginal or weak batteries on a Detroit can make it hard to start. But I would still check fuel lines for sucking or pressure loss in cold temps to exaggerate poor fuel supply problems. Fuel being a little thicker and harder to pull into filters and push to injectors.

    The issue was resolved, sorry for talking so long to respond.

    Here is what I replaced with no luck:
    1. Diesel filter
    2. Fuel Check valve
    3. TRS/SRS sensors
    4. Batteries
    I ended up doing an oil analysis and found diesel in my oil, which pointed to my injectors.
    After replacing the injectors it turned on, on the first attempt every single time.

    One of the three here would do that when parked over night but it would not start.that fast. Could see bubbles in the fuel tank return line when running. Replaced injector seals, no problem for two years.
