6.0 Won't Start After Install
It's just one problem after another. First i couldn't even get the truck to turn over and started this thread: no turn over Now i have fixed this problem and it will turn over. It was a bad park/neutral switch on my tranny. The truck turns over; it has spark, good fuel pressure, and good oil pressure IT JUST WON'T START. I made a video last night to show you guys but haven't got to edit and upload it yet, I'll add it to the thread later if it's neccessary. I don't know if it's in my computer or what but i think the root of the problem is coming from something electrical or to do with my pcm because my truck is a 1999 NBS and i should have to do a security relearn but the security light doesn't even blink like it should so i can't fallow the instructions to do the security relearn because my message center just blinks battery, change oil, and low fuel. What should i do?

try using your original computer just for kicks, it won't hurt anything to start it with a 4.8 or 6.0 tune.
did you pull the PCM fuses? do you have a code reader and can you communicate with the PCM?

well what I was getting at would be if you could confirm communication with the PCM, your stock PCM would be handy to confirm a working PCM in case you you got a corrupt one, which can happen.
Where are you located? maybe someone near you has something that may help.

did you check to see if your injectors are spraying? My 5.3 had sat for a while I raised the injectors up, unhooked the coil wires and had my son crank the engine over while I pecked on the injectors till I got them to spray (only hooking one up a a time) after that some seafoam in the tank and not a problem since. They had just gummed up some.
I had pressure and spark but that was all.

I kind of find it hard to believe that all 8 are completely clogged. I thing there is something else...... I had the ground missing near the PCM and it was doing exactly what you are talking about. Cranking with good spark, oil, and fuel.....
I'm sure you heard it a hundred times, but check all your grounds.
Good Luck

Check the three ground I have listed here in the bottom. Running seafoam like was recommended would be good. You could even pull the injectors out (note where you pulled them from) and soak them in seafoam overnight.
