Default Hard starts and now wont start

I have a 2003 dodge ram 3500 with the 5.9 cummins. Its been hard starting for maybe the past couple months like crank for a bit then fire. Well went out yesterday to start it and nothing but cranking. Has fuel thru the common rail into the nozzle tip that connects into the side of the injector. Ohm tested the injectors #1 and #2 and they said .6...is it bad injectors or what might it be? Seems i have fuel going everywhere but running the motor.

How's your starter? Disconnect and test both batteries individually, and if they're both good, check out your starter. Mine is below the breather hose and was full of a combination of diesel fuel and oil and it just caked up.
