More help needed.

I got my truck all back together and went to drive it (with canned tunes from my SCT tuner to accommodate for EGR/DPF delete) and the truck died less than a mile down the road and would not restart. I have no codes according to my scan tool but the tuner is showing a couple of codes not powertrain related as far as I know. They are U0115 and U0100 (the U could be a V but I can't tell for sure on the screen) what do these codes mean? Also I'm getting the wrench light and oil light on the dash but again no powertrain codes.

I was able to get the truck to start today and run for about 30 seconds but it runs like ass, won't rev up and refuses to restart after it died.

A little recap of what I've done. Replaced the turbos (bought used but seem to be fine), replaced the front cover, egr/dpf & cat delete, sct tuner. I am at my wits end with this truck. Please help me get this thing back on the road.

I forgot about 1 code I've had since I bought the truck. It is the code for the Glow plug control module. Would this cause the truck to not start/run right?

Also when cranking the engine there is a weird rattling sound

It has an oil light on when it runs? Does it have oil pressure?

jspaulding37918 · Feb 23, 2015

I have not been able to check oil pressure. Could the hpop be plugged from where the oil was so thick when the coolant got mixes with the oil?

powerstroked08 · Feb 23, 2015

It doesn't have a hpop

jspaulding37918 · Feb 23, 2015

Oh. Is there something else that could be clogged then?

powerstroked08 · Feb 23, 2015

Pull the oil filter cap off and crank it to see if it fills the filter housing. You need to see if the oil pump is working.

I am done trying to figure this out on my own . does anyone in the Knoxville, TN area have a good mechanic they recommend?

powerstroked08 · Mar 1, 2015

Did you check to see if its pumping oil?

jspaulding37918 · Mar 1, 2015

I can't even get it to crank over. Went through 2 starters already.

powerstroked08 · Mar 1, 2015

I think the old girl was starved for oil and is half seized. I really hope I'm wrong though!

jspaulding37918 · Mar 1, 2015

That's what I'm afraid of

powerstroked08 · Mar 1, 2015

You can try to spin it with a ratchet on the balancer. But it sounds bad if you burned up 2 starters.

replaced the bad starter again and now it is cranking normal again! AWESOME! down side is when it does start it doesn't stay on long and sounds like ass again, like everything is rattling and it smokes like crazy. I pulled the cap off the oil filter and had my wife crank the engine and it doesn't seem like any oil is moving at all in the filter housing. what causes this?
