still won't start and kicking p0603 code (only code)

900 psi cranking pressure, new cam sensor, sounds weak on buzz test and had ficm rebuilt by BulletProofDiesel. Voltage good, injectors just won't fire!

did I get shaft on FICM repair or do you think something else?

Any help greatly app. need this truck for work and getting to point to bury and buy new 6.7

If you can afford a new 6.7 I would say go for it!

Charge your batteries and then have them individually load tested somewhere w/ a professional tester. Then check all connections - especially the ground wires (there are multiple grounds).

After that, it could be a chaffed engine harness (wiring), connector (bent pins), or MAYBE a bad PCM (not many of these fail).

The 6.7's are nice, but it doesn't appear that you have done much troubleshooting on this specific code yet. The no-start checklist in the Tech folder shows common wire chaffing locations.

Did you check for wire chaffing? Did you check the battery grounds?
