Angry 2003 Dodge 5.9l cummins hard start or no start

My lift pump and injection pump was replaced still hard to start or will not start. When running no smoke white or black lots of power idle is good does not run rough.

Lots of '03s have their sticks start leaking and makes for hard starts. Look at replacement sticks or 'test/repair and new tips' from F1. How many miles?

miles dont matter had mine go out a little over a 100k then the next set go out in less then 25k. You either need to put a rail pressure gauge on it and see what the pressure is when cranking should be at 6k or do a flow test to see if it is the injectors
