replace your UVC gasket, for starts... Is it the gasket or the wire harness?

Once your in there you may as well replace the UVC harness as well. if the one inside seems good, keep it as a spare.

Have someone crank the truck for you, then hook a cheap tire pressure gauge to the shrader valve thats on the side of your fuel pressure regulator. It should be at least 20psi or more. It will be hard to read with the cheap air pressure gauge, but it should give you an idea.

That's a problem. I'd replace both gaskets, all four internal harnesses, and solder in all four new external connector pigtails.

No reason to go that crazy... Clean up the external parts and make sure there are no issues, but if its just the gasket he is fine.

Your talking about $300 bucks in parts right there...

Look on ebay. You can replace everything on both sides for $160.30 with shipping. Frustration is what led me to replace everything. I do not regret it. As CSIPSD said, keep what you think is still good as a spare.

Alright, replaced the UVCH and still nothing...cranks, no start, no smoke, nothing. What should I try now?

Found that the wire going to the IPR is completely melted off at the plug. Is this my problem???

Just letting everyone know that the problem is solved...
Replaced the connection with one from the old UVCH that i just switched out and the truck started right up.
