With mine it was a corroded starter relay that is on the drivers inner fender well. I unpluged it, made shure the truck was in neutral and crossed the correct wires and away it went. Replaced the relay and all is good.

When you jump from the red wire to the brown wire in the relay plug it will not crank? Got voltage on the red wire?

i put a new starter relay on it and it cranks real hard now. But it acts like its not getting any fuel. Also the w350 was a rollover and has been setting 2 years, but everything looks good for the most part. Thanks again

Got voltage at the shutoff solenoid? Have you tried bleeding the injector lines yet?
