This morning I went out and my truck wouldn't start, even though it showed no signs of a drained battery, I still connected my large batter jumper and no difference. I uninstalled all my tunes and put it into stock form and didn't work.
The engine turns very strong just won't fire.
I am throwing this out there in case someone has dealt with this situation and what your issue was.
I do have my neighbor who is a technician coming over tonight to run a scan and see if he can figure it out.
I am pretty bummed out since the body shop is taking it on monday morning to fix where I was hit on the front and if it needs to go to the dealer, I would have to reschedule all that.
 
no code lights coming on?..."service engine" etc?...whatever it is, it should show up as a DTC with a scan tool..sounds like it's going to be something simple though. Just a hunch. Let us know what your friend finds with the OBDII reader.

yea nothing shows up on the screen, yes I’ll update this once I figure it out.
 

Well this is my stupid moment for the week.I came across this video and realized that my issue was just this. Truck has officially fired up.
 
said it was probably something simple...glad it was! what a great feeling when you go from, "omg, I spent all this money and my engine is broken"...to..."I love this truck again"!!

Yes exactly!! The harsh feeling that I screwed something up !
 
how was your gas pedal depressed ... were you also cleaning the car ... did you just re-position your floor mat ... just curious...

yes, the night before, I took just the drivers mat out and gave it a quick rinse, put it back in but when you swoop it in, it can sit on top of pedal. Then in the morning to prepare the truck for truck bed liner, and it wouldnt fire.,
