First thing you will be asked is if you have anything to look at live data? And anything to pull codes? With out that it will be hard for anyone to help out that much.

So are you telling us you had a cab fire?
Under the hood fire?

Hate to tell you this but if everything is covered in soot the odds are you have some major electrical issues to deal with.........for starters.

no not a cab fire nothing is burnt and i wondered about the up pipes but didn't make sense why that would cause it not to turn over at all and i don't have any way to monitor anything everything was stock at the time now i will be putting gauges in

So the smoke in the cab was exhaust? Not smoke from something burning? First thing that comes to my mind is up pipe, manifolds, turbo, or egr valve.
