ok... where are the plugs ill try to unplug them

You don't want to unplug them. I was asking because if you accidentally unplugged them, it wouldn't run.

Your truck isn't chipped or anything is it?

i have a goofy edge programer but that thing is useless... so i have it set to the stock setting basically i use that thing for a scanner... for what thats worth

I guess I would have to return to my original question then and ask if you take off the valve covers and crank, is there oil coming from the deflectors?

In the picture, there is an aluminum piece sort of hidden at the top of the injector on the right side behind the collar and under the solenoid. While cranking, injectors should be spitting oil out of those...

i know some guys will probably jump down my throat for saying this. but if you still havent made any progress you can try a shot of starting fluid, or wd40 ONCE OR TWICE. let me be clear - im not saying to use this over and over. but if it will get it to turn over at least youll know its a fuel issue.
another thing you can easily check without having pull stuff apart is the hpop reservoir. its on plug on the top, and you can stick your oil dipstick down it just to check and make sure there is oil in it. DO NOT try and strat the truck without replacing that plug first. yes - its VERY bad to use starting fluid, but the people that have problems from that use it all the time instead of getting things fixed. one time will not do damage.
im not claiming to be an expert but that two easy things to try.. no fuel or no hp oil = no start

another thing to check, and this may sound stupid - pull your dipstick and check oil level again. if you have a leak, and enough has leaked out, it will also not start.
