batteries?

04 f250 6.0 late 04 engine. I had a no hot start problem so I changed standpipes and dummyplugs.found out I had diesal in my oil so I changed all eight injector orings. Then starter went out so installed a new starter. Truck started and ran fine for two weeks. Stopped the other day truck wouldn't start when I went to leave. let it cool off started right up. Engine turns over at 160 rpm when cranking when hot so icp is only at 260 psi. I charge or jump the truck off it starts right up.could my batteries be going bad?

260 is half what is needed
You still have a HPOP leak.
An air test would be in order

Bad HPOP shaft seal is likely you're issue.

Park nose down and it'll start right up. Park nose up and it'll be a long crank.

Nose up or down doesn't make a difference. I tried it both ways

Untill you do the air test all we can do is best guess or see some actual values.
Bullit mentioned a fairly common failuer of your type pump.

Internal leak from the HPOP seal. The reservoir empties and causes a long crank.

Early pump is very common to have a failed seal.
