Exclamation 6.0 died

Last week I pulled out of my driveway and the truck fell right on its face. Went to go start her back up waiting for glow plug light and relays start clicking cruise control lights flickering the truck is just plain out confused.....my buddy came and scanned the truck told me it was the FICM so i went ahead and ordered a preprogrammed one. Went to go fire truck back up relays are still clicking guages are going all the way up and back down. More clicking im stuck....I need help guys. Thanks, Zach.

I think he told me new batteries in the last 30 days, but maybe those are bad.

A bad alternator can ruin new batteries pretty quickly. Bad ground or loose/corroded cables can cause problems also.

This is where a more complete/thorough "initial" post might help ..........

The alternator is good and batteries are good i did a load test. This is an electrical problem of some sort inside of the cab. I think i could be a gem module not sure....all relays are clicking and the cruise control light flickers when you turn the truck to the "ON" position..

No, that brings you back to batteries, alternator, wiring, electronic cables, or FICM (IMO anyway).

This is NOT a serious response: The 6.0 did NOT die! It just fainted from lack of oxygen!
