Son and I rebuilt the stock 6.0 with 346k miles had blown head gasket and piston slap. Reinstalled and now crank no fire. Has fuel and air. We put two code readers (orange obd pocket scanner and a tuner scanner) and get zero codes. We had three codes and truck was in limp mode before we pulled engine. Now we have no codes, power to coil plug on each side and no fire coming out of any coils now. Grounds and 12v are good to new cam sensor and new crankshaft sensor, checked both at the plugs. All grounds are attached to block and checked with test light to 12v at battery. All fuses good, relays pulled and tested for resistance. Main coil plugs on both sides have 12v and ground coming in and no fire out of coils. Need to know if a real scanner can pull codes in memory or are they all erased since battery was unhooked for awhile? Do I need to get it flashed? Scratching head and watching ALOT of videos lol.

 

Threw a few new parts at it

Throttle body

MAF 

 

Thanks for any input.

0053 was most recent code prior to pulling running engine. 0300, 1516 were codes when blown head gasket first caused any issues. No rpms on 3rd scanner.

Thank you for answering. Yes I have original crank sensor and it's a hall type that I cannot figure out how to bench test. What scares me is the chance of the new sensor being bad.

It bad,or wiring to it,weak spot is right behind power steering pump, follow the procedure on the site I mentioned,if it's wiring, you know where to look

Well its running. Took new crank sensor back to Oreillys, popped in the newest one and this is where I messed up. I bought a MAP sensor and installed it at same time so I have no idea if new crank sensor was bad or MAP sensor solved it but it fired up for first time since September. Then did the break in on new engine then shut it down for evening. Next day no start, flooded. Changed plugs and fed it some break cleaner into the MAS and got a few cylinders to pop and it finally cleaned itself out and was idling smooth and took it for its first test run. Just started it back up this morning and its idling beautifully. Now off to get inspection. Thank you for the input, I truly appreciate the response.

Also ensure you put PCV hose at valve cover back on?‍♂️. Amazing how perfect the truck runs now. Also added 8 oz tranny dacron 4 to quiet lifters.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
