Hmmm, wonder what will happen if you swap the PCM's back. I always try to replicate the problem once I have figured out what I think the cause was. That way you're sure you got it. Glad to hear you got it started.

No still no luck and I'm super aggravated I charged the battery's for a day so it would crank good
It cranks good still got wait to start the tach is moving
And now my aeroforce scan gauge took a crap so now I can't read icp or duty cycle

here is some wiring diagrams Help!! Need 97 f350 wire diagram for inside - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum
post 5, there are a bunch of schematics, 3 that are "engine distribution" ones that have the engine wiring harness, idm, and pcm.
are you still using the New pcm? or did you go back to the original?

did the parts truck run? if it does id say put the dd pcm and idm in it to see if they were actually bad or not. if the dd indeed had a bad pcm, when you got it started maybe what ever caused the pcm to go bad, caused the partstruck pcm to go bad, is that the same time the scanner stopped working? did the scanner die or did it stop communicating ?

I got 3 trucks the parts one is a dd one is a big toy and parts truck is not running But when it was parked it did run
The dd I already swapped CPS and all cps are good
I really don't wanna take the idm and PCM from the running dd just in case whatever is wrong with the toy truck frys parts on the dd

did you say if your truck smoked out the exhaust at all when attempting to start it?
id say its safer to put possible bad parts in a good truck. for example if you put a good pcm in a truck that may have a bad pcm, what may have ruined the bad pcm may ruin the good one as well, but if you do it the other way and put the possible bad pcm in a running truck and it no longer runs, you know its the pcm, with out taking the chance of having 2 bad pcms
are the pcms the same or do they have different codes?
