Does the tach move when you crank? It could be that your alt died and now your batteries are too low to turn on the computer

It does move and cranks like crazy I didn't crank on it to the point that the batteries were drawn down

If the batteries are charged enough to crank over fast, they will fire the computer. My has kept running at 9ish volts. The instrument cluster will stop working before the engine quits running. Not good on the FICM, but the last half mile to get the family home.......

Guess that’s only in the ih trucks and the 7.3 psd, do you see oil pressure when cranking?

No after about 2 seconds of cranking my oil pressure jumps up to the halfway mark same as when running

A good use of time for any 6.0 owner is watching all of dieseltechron (RIP) videos. He has a whole slew of "crank no start" videos.
