Engine overheated from a crack in the radiator. I replaced the radiator now the truck won't start. No evidence of blown head gasket.

Hi,

Where there is a crank no start condition, it is usually related to a fuel or spark condition. Try this and let me know the results.

First, see if it starts using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel related. If there is no change, check for spark to the plugs. Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If you could record it cranking and upload it for me to hear, it may help. Also, here is a link you may find helpful as well:

Let me know.

Joe
