6.0 cranks but won't start
Hey everyone,
I'm new here and I've been looking thru a lot of posts and can't seem to find anything that will help. I've had my '04 PSD for about 6 months now and last month while leaving work the truck died. I do have an SCT tuner with a 150 HP tune on it as well as an exhaust and EGR delete. As I was leaving the yard I rolled into in from about 20 MPH and the truck seemed to stall then died. I tried to crank it over and it struggled for a bit to turn it over but finaly turned it over. I cranked it till the batteries died and towed it home. I pulled the codes with the tuner and it did't show any. Yesterday I went to look at the codes again and it showed that it couldn't read the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing the truck to not start. Thanks everyone.

You need to scan it with a real scanner and not just the SCT. Without more information you're just chasing your tail.

I used my buddy's code reader he bought awhile back to check to see if the scanner was lieing yesterday and that's what said could not read ECM. Do I need to use a diagnostic scan tool, cause I'm debating between buying one to do it or just taking it to the stealership to have them run it.

A real diagnostic code reader is what you need. Are your batteries fully charged? AutoEnginuity is a great tool to have if you have a laptop and some spare change to work with.

Most dealerships around here will check your codes for free

The local dealership in Hobbs wants $310 just to plug in. And are we talking about a diagnostic scan tool or a code reader, cause that's 2 totally different beasts. Like a 1000-2000 dollar difference.

The AE is a diag scan tool, and for the 6.0 program, its like 600 bucks from what I hear. That sucks, my dealer checks them for free, and then try and get to to let them diagnose it
