OT/cummins??

Any of you guys know much about the older 5.9's??

The truck I am driving at work is a 96 dodge and lately it has been starting hard. You have to give it throttle for it to fire. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas what would be causing this.

Injection pump wear, or fuel leak (if it runs fine once started).

There is a site called Dodge Diesel - Diesel Truck Resource - Cummins - Home that is much like this one, only all about 5.9 Cummins in the Dodges. Very Very good site. You will find a guru there will certainly be helpful. I go there with my Cummins questions.
