Default won't start, batteries wont hold charge

New, first post. 2006 6.0 FICM was changed a couple months ago. Just replaced the injectors. Put it all back together and now the truck won't start. Bled the fuel for a long time to get air out. Had it hooked up to battery charger on a 2. Try to crank and the battery dies after a few cranks. Can't figure this out. The scan tool is saying. Injectors 2&8 circuit low, but not every time.
Please help

You have to get batteries fully charged and still put charger on boost till you get it to fire. You need good 12 v for ficm to work properly. What injectors did you buy? Some were known to have problems, it's not impossible to get a bad one or two

Turns out it was the IPR. Was sucking all the juice from batteries. Put a new one in and the truck started right up. Now just have to change a couple glow plugs and will be through....for now. Thanks
