My truck will crank but will not start. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, the coil pak, put new battery check the gas in tank and all fuses have been checked. Does not have the main computer in the truck. We bought the truck and found out later the computer that is in it came from a salvage yard and I have not been able to get the truck at all. Would like some information on what we might could do if anything to fix the truck or other suggestions. Look forward to hearing from you.

The parts you listed suggest nothing has actually been diagnosed. Have you checked to see if spark, fuel pressure, or both are missing?

You need to determine if you have the correct ECM for that application. I show four possible numbers for that year, engine and transmission. Have a dealer run the VIN number and determine which one you need. Plug that in and then start diagnosing the problem.
