03 2500 v10 won't wake up!!
I bought this vehicle not running, as is. But it was a steal! The alternator was missing and the starter fried, so I fixed that and tried to fire it up. It spun over kinda slowly, half-backfired, and shot the dipstick almost out of the tube. So, I'm thinking:
1. Frozen piston rings
2. Jumped timing
3. Blown head gasket
At current, I removed all the spark plugs, and shot a few ounces of transmission fluid into each cylinder. A plan on letting it soak overnight, then in the morning, unplug the coil packs and spin it over a bunch before installing a new set of plugs, in case the rings are merely frozen. What are your thoughts?

The oil was dark, not milky though. The filter was a bear to get off, though. I'm kinda scared......

I also hope you bought it really cheap... i would never let the engine continue to run if it showed no oil pressure.... even if it was just a bad sending unit I would never take the risk....
My bet is the alternator went bad from sitting for awhile.... the starter went bad trying to crank a seized up engine... and the engine went back from little to no oil being circulated...
I hope you post pictures of that engine torn apart... I bet as soon as you get the heads off it will be clear as day what happened....
