Okay, update, I tried to start it with no luck. I noticed that the odometer comes on with the mileage and then reads "no bus". Did a little research and found that it could be the ECM needs to be replaced, others said it was the crankshaft position sensor. I'm leaning towards the ECM, but I will inspect and likely replace the crank sensor since I've heard that those going bad is a common problem. So I figure a 30 dollar brand new sensor is probably good insurance. Has anyone had this issue? how did you resolve it?
Easiest way to test the no bus thing, is to disconnect sensors one at a time, and see which one finally gives you a reading on the odo.
Thanks I will give it a shot and see. Just out of curiosity, I connected my code reader to the truck and it could not link with it and kept giving me a "link failure".
Many possibilities there as well..... might be a loose connection, failing CTM, or any number of other things..... Try another scanner, see if that works.
