Sounds like a starting system problem.

Begin w/ the basics..
Good batteries,tight clean connections,(pos. and neg.both ends of cables)

Starter drag could be a result of low power to starter,or a bad starter.

Welcome to FTE. Set your truck back to stock to rule out any issues with the edge. Then check your fuses with a test light and swap the relays around.

The issue you want to focus on is the P1670. The PCM and IDM are not talking to each other. This is the reason for your no start. If fuses & relays check good, it's time to check wiring.

I was going to say not enough juice to start but the GP system malfunction concerns me. If that is shorted somewhere, you may burn up the new alternator too.
