[QUOTE="disturbedfuel15, post: 8122260, member: 570673"] SOLVED! She fired right up! The problem was the main wire going from the alternator to the battery. It was corroded most of the way through, creating a TON of resistance. I replaced it with a new, 2awg automotive grade wire. Thank you all for your help! What I learned: If a wire is corroded in to the sheathing at all, replace it. The simplest answer may be the right answer. The sensor I was holding is the knock sensor, which I do not have. With a push button start and MSD ignition, the stock wire to activate the starter is not necessary. I learned that removing the starter is MUCH easier than holding the heavy bastard in place and trying to get the bolts to catch, especially if you are crawling under the truck without lifting it off the ground.
