Thanks guys, I have ordered a new crank sensor and should be in tomorrow. By the way I found the problem with my door lock, it had a broken tumbler. I simply took the broken one out and it works fine now.
I was able to crank it last night but it only ran for 10 minutes and cut itself off. Then would not crank again after that. Hopefully the new crank sensor will fix it. I will report back after I install it.

Would not crank as in the motor would not turn over or would turn over but not start. You need to watch the words you say cause they mean different things.

Oops, sorry about the wording. I meant I was able to start it up last night and it ran for about 10 minutes and then cut off by itself. After that it would turn over but not start up.

I switched out my crank sensor last night and everything is looking good so far! It has not cut off anymore by itself. Thanks guys for all the help. I would have probably wasted alot of money changing out other things tring to find the problem. Thanks again.

With the money you saved - invest in an Ultra Gauge...

There was a post in the last few days of a chap with a detailed bill from the mechanic, $1471 for about $300 of work, and another $3500 "needed." One goal of most forum members is to not have have truck see the inside of the dealership. Outside the parts department,OK, if you have to.
