93' W250 Not starting, help me!

I did the KDP fix on my truck about 6 months ago . About a month later my check engine light came on, maybe 2 weeks after. Eventually my alternator stopped charging. I assumed my crank sensor was the culprit because I had issues gaping it , so I re-gaped it and parked it for a while for planned maintenance. During that time I replaced; Alternator, starter, ASD relay. Truck will not start now. I checked all My grounds too and visually checked all the wiring In the starting circuit. Could I get some advice on what should I do.

Is it a no-crank, or a crank-no-start?

If it's a crank-no-start, turn your key on and unhook your FSS, you should hear it click when you do.

If it won't crank, jump 12 volts to the small top terminal on your starter, if it cranks that rules out a bad starter. If it doesn't crank, try hitting it with a hammer or prybar, might get it running if you need to move it.

If it cranks and you can hear the FSS click, (shut the radio off, it's not real loud) try priming the fuel system.

I have not tried it with the new parts, but I did do it with the old. Ill post the pictures thanks so much for the feedback. Jumping as in use jumper wires and connect from another battery with the engine running of the other vehicle and connect it to the power terminals going to the starter??

I think he's talking about take a screw driver and touching the starter and solenoid together. Are the terminal leads okay? Could be the ignition switch as well.

An inch and a quarter wrench touches both terminals on the starter perfectly. Careful not to touch anything else at the same time.
