Hhhhmmmm.....

Disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes. Then, reconnect, turn the ignition to "on" (not start), count to ten, THEN crank the engine, and see if it wants to start.

What brand crank/cam sensors?

That may be part of the problem..... Our trucks don't really care for aftermarket sensors in critical locations.
