    If you are still having problems, try this.
    Pull the fuses out one at a time and clean them. One of those fuses may be corroded and the ecm is sensing low voltage.
    Once you crank long enough it may sense a high enough voltage to allow it to start.
    A friend of mine had this exact same problem and that's all it was.
     
    RubyEagle Thanks this.

    Thanks for all the advice, the shop that I took it to sadly wasn't able to figure out the problem, so I am taking it back into my own hands. Replacing the SRS and TRS sensors right now. If that doesn't take care of it I will try the fuse thing. Thanks again

    We’re they allowing fuel to seep into the cylinders? Did the truck smoke much on start up?

    It's probably in the scrap yard, you are responding to something 4 years gone.

    hi, mine is a DDEC 4 on an argosy. If you block return it starts perfectly. If not, it struggles to start; have put new check valves on filter and that one behind the head
