I would try to pull the IPR and at least clean and inspect. This is really about all you can do without proper diagnostic tools.

Hey, do not forget to check the coil resistance on the IPR - should be 10.2 ohms. If way over or under, coil is likely bad and the mechanical parts on the IPR could be good.

I'm having no start issues with my truck also & got 10.8 when testing my coil. I replaced mine with one off of a working truck with no luck, the working truck tested 10.7. From what I've been reading as long as the ohm reading holds steady at around that 10-11 range it is good. If it fluctuate's up & down then it is most likely bad

Well here is an update.
The truck still does not run, it has coughed a couple of times.
I get smoke from the tail pipe, have 10.5-10.8 volts at the pcm during cranking.
I have cleaned the IPR and tested the coil, tested both batteries and they are good, replaced the fuel.
Anything else I can try before I ship it of to the shop?
