Default Starting issues

Good morning all

Having an issue with my 2004 dodge Ram and was hoping someone else might have run into it

Lately whenever it is very cold my truck was having trouble starting. Definitely seemed to be battery related which I replaced two days ago. Now my issue has been that the engine cranks...and cranks....and cranks but does not fire. This morning I had to push the gas pedal to the floor after the third attempt to get it to fire. Once the truck starts I can shut it off and it will fire back up no problem

Any ideas?

Sounds like the fuel pump is bleeding off pressure. Need to due a pressure test.
