Starting Woes on Cummins 5.9L (Battery Issue?)

Thanks for the reply. I meant to mention here that I was going to start a new thread, since the issue is different from the purpose of this original thread. I'll make my reply there. Thanks again.

I found a hose under the engine that has pretty strong signs of a fuel leak. I think it's the hose running to the lift pump. The sheathing around it looks pretty wet, by there's no fuel on the ground underneath. Still, is it possible that this is where air is getting into the system? If so, any tips on how to replace these or where to shop for hoses?

The first photo shows the fahrzeug hydraulik 61289 power steering pump, possibly with a leaking supply line attached by a hose clamp. Tighten that clamp. If you follow that you should see it leading to the supply reservoir behind the drivers side wiper access door.

The fuel supply line is attached to the primer pump just above the starter and runs to the rear. It should attach to the water separator before going to the tank. Pull back any plastic loom and inspect it good. Note any markings telling what size and possibly the manufacturer. I replaced mine last year and used Weatherhead 1/2" H10108.
