The truck is a 2006 6.0 F350 Lariat with a No Start. It will crank and kill batteries all day. Some smoke out of tailpipe during cranking. Truck was running fine before, except for a delayed start because of bad glow plugs.There were codes for opens on 6 of them. I replaced the glow plugs and respective harnesses, changed both upper and lower oil pan gaskets, changed oil filter and refilled. (Coolant was drained and re-filled as well).
Something to note is that the only filter available to me(I'm in Belize C.A.) was a WIX. It's identical to the one removed and it was running before on these WIX filters. I wish I could get a motorcraft and eliminate this as a possible cause.
Here's some info i pulled with my scan tool:
ICP during cranking=1060psi
IPR=44%During Cranking
IPR KOEO=14.4%
FICM=48.5 During Cranking
FICM Sync= Yes
CMP & CKP Sync= Yes
Engine RPM while cranking~ 114RPM
The truck will have a few seconds where it feels like it's trying to fire but is no where close to starting. Been draining batteries and recharging for a couple of days now.
At first I thought that maybe since I left the oil draining for a day because of the gasket redo I lost the prime on the HPOP but it's taken way too long to start but I could be wrong. And I also refilled from the oil filter reservoir.
I've checked ICP and no oil in connector. Tried unplugging it as well but same result.
This stands out to me. I believe you need at least 150 rpm's to start. I would have those batteries tested to see if they're good. If one is bad, replace both.
I think I watched ALL his no start vids but i'm still stumped. The usual culprits appear to be good to go but the truck just won't fire. White smoke out the tail pipe and it sputters a bit like it's about to fire but no go and I just end up draining my batteries.
You're getting everything you need IMO for your motor to start. If the FICM connectors are fully seated it should fire off. Take it easy on that starter they will burn up. Hopefully others will chime in.
That's what i'm thinking. I'm scratching my head. Thank you @Frosty. @Rattlesnake18 I can but it would take a few weeks to get it shipped to me from the US. Dealer like everywhere else in the world would probably want one of my arms and leg for it.

Have you checked out dieselfiltersonline.com? I know it doesn't help you right now, but maybe it will going foward. You can order up several so you have them when you need them, they also sell Racor filters which are the same as Motorcraft.
I don't think anyone mentioned fuel. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? Have you looked in the upper bowl to make sure you're getting fuel? Just a thought.
Don't have a gauge but fuel bowl is filling and I'm getting white smoke from the tailpipe. Any links on a how to so I can check fuel pressure? Is there a PID for fuel pressure so I can check it with my scan tool?
No fuel pressure is not monitored by the PCM. There is a test port on the front of the fuel bowl but it's a fairly uncommon thread so you'll have to have a good test kit or get an adapter. Like this >> Ford 6 0L Power Stroke Diesel Fuel Pressure Adapter New | eBay
Not recommending that particular one, just using it as an example.
i'd have to agree. if everything looks good on the monitor, and you aren't getting any codes, a fuel system fault would be suspect. could be an injector allowing compression to bleed back into the fuel rail. if it's bad enough, it won't start at all. as mentioned, i'd start by testing pressure. if it's good, check for compression bleed back
Well I'm late to the party but it sounds like these guys are steering you in the right direction. Everything looks good as far as engine vitals....just for laughs, when was the last time your fuel filters were done?
Hey guys sorry for disappearing on you but I finally got the truck started with some help from another experienced tech. Fuel pressure was not the problem.
Long story short the cylinder walls dried up causing dead cylinders. We had 0psi coming out of almost all cylinders. Leaving the oil pan off overnight really was a terrible thing.
We managed to "re-lube" the walls and got compression and she fired up. Tedious work but she's running.
was this thing sitting for a long time? yea you'll lose compression for sure if that's the case. it is quite obvious when you spin it over and sounds like the engine is just freewheeling
