Hard Starting 2003 common rail Cummins ???

A big reason why these common rail systems need new injectors and sometimes the pressure relief valve is that Bosch wanted 4 micron or better fuel filtration, but such filters weren't readily available until a couple years ago. The Rams came with 10 micron filtration, and later 7 micron was made available. Commercial diesel fuel in this country often has up to 15 micron particulates.
