Guys truck still doesn't run. I've logged everything possible. Nothing seems to be out of range. No dtc's no leaks. Truck starts and shuts off in 1 -2 seconds. Loosing my mind here. :banging: Still thinking it sucking air somewhere.

I have no Idea, I'm just throwing out ideas.. IDK what years they starting doing this, so dont try till we find out. Maybe keep the key in start position, because I know on my 2006 if you turn it to start with the engine running it will not engage the starter.

This may be able to tell if its in the ignition or not... Just a suggestion

Duh, sorry guys. Brain is fried. Scanned with tech 2 today. Nothing unusual. Should I try turning the vats off or can you do that? All grounds are good as far as I can tell.

How long was battery disconected? sounds like anti theft / BCM issue.

8 months. The wierd thing is that the truck has ran for about an hour or so. I drove it to put fuel in it and thats it. Woke up the next day and its back to the same crap. Only now can't get it to stay running.

its definitly the vats system. My buddy had the same issues with an 04.5 lly that sat at his trans shop for like 6-8 months

Battery down that long will throw ECM long term memory fail and can do some funky things
