drove it home one nite, shut it off and cant get it to start after it sat for 2 days. also dont see any thing obvious in the area around the top of the engine. truck will start and run on starting fluid. trying to find a scan tool that wont cost me an arm and a newborn baby.lol

Dead Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM)? Same thing happened to my dad's 6.0 a year ago. Got a replacement from pick-n-pull, not sure how much he paid, not more than a couple hundred bucks. I'd check it out. At least it's a starting point.

Turned out to be an alarm installed under the dash. I removed it and she fired right off.
