thanks for the replies. fuel pump is a definite, I think I've settled on an air dog 100, I found a kit with 1/2" fuel line and a draw straw that i guess i need. just wasn't to sure about it fixing my starting problem but I guess it could stop the back flow of pressure or maybe the overflow valve, but incline or decline doesn't make a difference

Hey guys,new to the forum,dodge,and Cummins. I recently purchased a 1999 drw, with 206k miles, for a work truck and I'm having what I call delayed start, meaning if I wait for the WTS light to come on it starts fine, extremely agrivating at a drive through. It doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold and no codes. What I've done so far is replace the APPS because of a code, clean battery connections,change fuel filter and check fuel pressure. The truck has a mopar remanufactured IP and tank located lift pump, the fuel pressure is extremely suspect and has to be addersed, its 9 psi at idle 5 psi at WOT, but when i shut it off the pressure bleeds to 0 and stays that way till the WTS light comes on then it goes to 10 psi and drops till i start the engine and the lift pump doesn't come on when i bump the starter. I've seen posts' about this but no resolution any help would be greatly appreciated:banghead:
