i have a ton of stuff done to my truck and it has run awesome for the past 2 years. i have the fass 95 push pump, ddp 80 horse injector nozzles, super fat shaft turbo, and the, edge juice with attitude set on 1 most of the time. a bunch of other goodies that wont really affect injection. the other day i went out to start it and it wouldn't fire. the weather has been extremely warm as well so i don't think thats an issue. but it cranks and cranks and wont fire at all. anybody know if this is a sensor issue or do i need new injector bodies? i always run a bottle of diesel performance in every tank of fuel. i know this makes the truck run a little hotter. could i have burned the injectors up? also the truck has 177,000 miles of hard towing on it and from some of my other research i found guys saying that they were only getting a hundred to a hundred and twenty thousand miles out of they're injectors. any help is appreciated :D
 
it will fire with starting fluid and run after that, just wont initially start with out it that first time.

You've got bad injector(s) not building enough rail pressure during cranking 200-300 rpm to fire. You could cap off one at time until the truck started to find which one, but i would bet a return flow test would have you replace all six.

How are your batteries ? if the voltage is too low the injection system won't work. I this happens a lot on gassers. Try jumping it.
 
My 03 did that a few months ago. I ended up towing it to a cummins shop. They didn't figure out what it was. They got it started by removing the air horn and some bolt behind it. Then they squirted some fluid in there and it has been running since. Never threw any codes for it.

Now I am somewhat concerned about taking any out of town trips.
