By "NO FIRE" do you mean you're not getting spark? Have you checked the crank sensor, is there power + side of the coil?

Let me know. Also, let me know if there are any trouble codes.

Brand new crank sensor aftermarket auto zone type will let you about the hot side of coil in a day or so. Also three months ago bought a ecm from junk yard from same truck installed ecm on my truck truck started and I drove all day. Next morning would not start and no fire. Mr. Brooks
