My truck has the 5.9 engine and ran great. One day it died on the highway and will not start. It will turn over fine but has no spark. I have changed the cap, rotor, coil, plugs, wires, and crank sensor. It still will not start. The is no spark from the coil. I hooked up a code tester and it does not even read the vehicle. When I turn the key, the check engine light does not even light up (not sure if it did before it broke down). I have done a quick check on fuses and zi think they are all ok, but I will check further. Does this sound like the computer is shot or something in the distributor. I have read of other changing a cam sensor but I am not sure where it is. Also, I have been told it may be the ignition module, but when I search for the part online I get that it doesn't apply to my vehicle. Please HELP!!!

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
