    Do you have a troubleshooting video for no start? I’ve got a 99 GMC 2500. 6.5. It had 1214 code. Injection pump timing offset. Scanner said most likely fix is replacing Crankshaft position sensor. So I drive the truck a couple weeks. Few hundred miles. Turn it off at the gas station, and it never starts again. Turns over just fine, just don’t fire. So I replaced the crankshaft sensor. Nothing. I replaced and relocated the PMD. Nothing. Unplugged optical sensor, nothing. It just turns over endlessly. Won’t star. Also tried to jump the glow plug relay. Nothing. Just turns over.

Definitely do want to install an Intercooler as well but with how expensive everything is the process has been difficult to start.
