Starting problem

Friends truck, 06 with 135k. Problem he's having is, truck cranks over fine but doesn't fire, if he kick starts it, it fires right up. Haven't had the chance to put my AE on it, figured I throw it out there. Any ideas guys?

Kick start? As in Jump start? If he's jump starting it's batteries and alternator.

No not jump, he has to kick it (roll and pop clutch). Batts and alt were tested, they're good.

That doesn't make any sense. Truck won't start by the starter, but will if you dump the clutch. Batteries and alternator are good. Dumping the clutch spins the flywheel, same as the starter. Is it getting 150+ rpm by starter? How about ICP, at least 500? Cam synchronization?
