im just going by what the previous owner told me. i have no idea what really happend yet because i havent gotten into the motor. im plannin on doing that this weekend. i have to go off the owners word being that the truck has been sitting for 2 years. but i also find it hard to believe what he was saying because there is oil on the dip stick and it smells super burnt

i will try that first but ive already planned to get a long block for it and just use the top end off of the old motor to save some money. i will try to start another thread this weekend when i get started on it to let everyone know what is wrong with it.

I don't think there is FICM/PCM oil pressure detection of any kind as a prestart requisite. The HPOP reservoir holds 2 or 3 quarts of oil but I don't know the pump volume of the HPOP. The LPOP is very high volume but without oil to feed the HPOP it won't run long--only seconds I'd imagine if it would start at all. That's why we're wondering about how no oil in the crankcase from an oil change could have cause a blown motor.
IIRC there are two solenoids for each injector, one to open and one to close the injector. Does the oil vent into the valve cover when the injector operates?

Can you paste a link to the new thread here when you start it? Some times posts move down the page quickly and I would like to know!

I'd start a new thread just for clarity, but did you find any traces of the standpipe melted or was it just removed.
AFA the engine harness you'll probably need the VIN and call partsguyed.com. Those can be very difficult. I don't recall ever seeing what year model truck you were working on or any of the particulars except the 74K miles.
