EGR valves clogging wit soot is a common problem with these engines. Having said that it's a easy 30 minute job to remove them and clean them up with brake cleaner and reinstall. I my 6.0 psd it seamed they needed to be cleaned every 80k miles. Here's a video to view.
Also on the hard starting it sounds like your ficm (Fuel Injection Control Module) may need to be replaced. Running these trucks with weak batteries damages these ficm and that's why it's important to maintain good batteries.

Weak batteries will kill the FICM in short time. Keep em fresh.
I've never jumped mine either but I believe the driver side would be the correct one to connect the cables to.

Replace the batteries (how old) also look at putting an updated Alternator on also.
Jumping need a decent size jump truck, before I could get the batteries replaced in my Ram I needed to park at airport a couple times. Second time I had them send two little Ford Rangers, connected one to each battery, just a couple minutes to get enough juice to start, rather than the 10 to 15 minutes the first time with just one. This is a second gen Cummins, takes about a half a revolution to start.
