Default 2001 Ram Starting Issue

Good Morning,

I have a 2001 4X4 Ram Off Road with a 5.9L and I have noticed this winter that when the truck sits over night, it cranks a lot more than normal to start it. I wondered if it might be the plugs or wires so I replaced them (60,000 miles on them). This hasn't seemed to fix the problem. I am wondering if it might be the IAC or possibly something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

may need a new battery, or terminals cleaned/repaired...our PCM's are very touchy, and the smallest drain, can cause alot of havok.

Pull the plugs and check them for fouling or if they are wet with raw fuel.

I have pulled the plugs and they are not fouled. That is what is making me think that there is a leak somewhere in the fuel system that is letting the fuel drain back to the tank??
