Not to be a d*ck but what did people do before scanners?, seems like you're being quick to throw in the towel

They had engines that were not electronic. Working on your chevy 350 or your 6BT is alot simpler then a powerstroke. There are numerous sensors and things on these engines that can cause it to not start. You have to find out what codes it has before you can figure much out.

Why f scaners? They are there for a reason. To help you diagnose problems like this. But if you would rather spend hundreds even thousands of dollars and not figure out the problem then go ahead.

Exactly. Replacing every sensor, solenoid, relays, harness, ect. that could cause a "no start", you'll easily spend over $1000. I would rather SCAN each time, then replace everything. I can think of better uses for the money than keep a garage full of every electrical component.

You need to get it scanned.

I'm sorry but throwing parts at a non running powerstroke is just dumb.

If the truck is cranking when the key is turned then its not a starter solenoid, come on guys.

Do yourself a favor, click the link below in my sig for AutoEnginuity and order it. Install it and get your truck running.

Sounds to me your not getting enough HPO to fire the injectors, meaning it could be a bad HPOP, bad IPR, bad Injector or injectors, something on the HPO line.

Only way your going to fix it is getting someone to scan it and figure a few things out. Buzz test, KOEO test, and then watch the Duty Cycle and ICP pressures when cranking.

Im just north of springfield mo. There are many places to scan it. Ford, Northeast Diesel, Ferguson Diesel. And a majority of mechanic shops around have a scanner. You really need to get it scanned though.
