Eric,
In order: fresh big battery, clean cable contacts (including the ground strap), new fuel filters, clean air filter, valve clearance (also check timing chain stretch), primed and leak-free fuel delivery system. Dumb question on my part: are you glowing the engine?

Yes, check these things too, as well as the glow plugs. While you are at it, you should try and pull the starter and have it tested. I went through replaceing many things on my car, and still wondered why it was having a hard time starting, and it turns out that I had a bad starter.
