That wire is the ground strap it goes to the block on the ps rear of the head. Pull the ficm relay while you are cranking the engine over. It's going to take quite a bit of cranking for the oil pressure to come up. You drained both oil rails and the injectors so it's needs to fill everything with oil again and build pressure. Watch your ICP pressure and once it hits 500 put the relay back in and it should fire. Keep the batteries on a charger while cranking.

For checking the fuel you could loosen one of the banjo bolts on the front of the head and watch for fuel spray. Do you have any injector codes? Maybe recheck that the ficm plugs are fully seated into the case. If it's cold plug the block heater in also just to help with starting. The smoke could be residual oil from the injectors being pulled.

I can hear the injectors and the glow plugs and fuel pump. I did download forscan and I did purchase the scanner for the forscan but haven't done any testing with it as of yet. Do you thing forscan can tell me anything just from cranking? Thanks

ForScan will help. Load
RPM greater than 150 needed
IPR % while cranking
ICP greater than 500psi
ICPV
FICM main power 45-48.5v while cranking
FICM logic power 14-10.5v
Fuel pulse width
FICM sync yes
Check for codes. Usually come up when ForScan is connecting to the ECM
Another thought check the plug and wires for the fan clutch. There are times it will short out and cause a no start.

Richard--Checked the plug--still attached and in real good shape. Thinking my situation might be wiring with all the rodents here. Was hoping it would be something simple like the FICM or something though. Like I say--Not sure what to do first--ha.

Well since you have the codes written down and holy s*** by the way I would clear them and see what codes come back when you key on.
As for the intake temp that one should be easy to find it’s the sensor in the air filter housing.
The exhaust pressure sensor is either on the thermostat housing or the driverside manifold below the degas bottle. Check it for cuts or chew marks.
Check the plugs going into the PCM and follow the wires as far as you can and look for chaffing.
I would have to look for the pinout for the PCM plugs and see if they are related to one plug.
I’ll see what I can find.

Hey--the wife said we should just drop the truck off at your place on the way to Washington next month--ha. I didn't have the air cleaner in when I ran the scan. This might have sent the code for the intake temp. I'll check the rest tomorrow I hope. I mentioned all the rodents around here before. This no start came overnight. I looked up the FICM plug arrangement and noticed that my codes are coming from one plug. The codes are 1, 4, 6 and 7 injectors. This is the plug farthest to the rear of the ficm. I think some of the other codes might be coming from one of the other plugs. Anyway, think i'll order a new ficm to injector wire harness. It appears that the existing harness has to be torn apart in order to add a new FICM harness. I see the ipr and ground aren't included in this harness and a WHOLE ENGINE HARNESS doesn't include the FICM to injector harness. Any ideas on that? I see used WHOLE ENGINE HARNESS's for sale on Craigslist. Thanks for all the other ideas.

I think your close to starting it. I know it’s a little work but I would remove the FICM plugs and check for bent pins then reseat them making sure they snap into place and are held tight before you order a harness. As for the bonding strap just use a butt connector for now until you can hit up a junkyard and find another one. As for the CMP/CKP codes they may have come from continuous cranking as well as the ICP code. But for sure check the EBP sensor if it’s shorted you will lose the REF volts to the rest of the engine sensors.
The fuel inertia switch may just need to be reset but if you have 60psi KOEO that suggests the fuel pumps working.

Well I left town and don't have my workshop DVD which by the way is something you should look into. I found mine on eBay for like $15 and use it often for codes, torque values, and how to's. the p-codes are usually engine the IC are instrument cluster and the b-is ignition.
If the codes came back for the ficm it could need work. There are two sides to the ficm one for power and the other logic which controls the injection cycles.
We need to get this thread moved to the 6.0 forum because there's a lot smarter guys in there than me and could have you running in no time. You could start a thread there and copy and paste the link so they can read it and advise.
