Hi, Fuel Filter? in--Line filter? Have you enough POKE in the battery? I would get that checked.

just another thought, what about valve efficiency and timing being slightly off also how good is the fuel delivery pump; after 72000 miles it may be a bit worn. Just trying t help.S OG

valve efficience or tappet adjustment as it used to be known is hydraulic on these engines, requires no adjustment

what about air leaks?, very little stops a diesel firing.
1) clogged injector, 2) no compression, 3) poor battery, 4) no fuel, This assumes the solenoid is ok in the pump.
72K pretty low for a diesel pump
