Hey yall, first post here, I have a 1998 c3500 with the 5.7. Been one thing after another with this pos project. Firstly I had to replace the transmission, not that big a deal. Went to test it out, starter died. Replaced starter. Key on to start, nothing. Pulled starter relay, jumped pins and fired right up. Tried to put it in reverse, stalls engine out. Discovered I had mistakenly hooked up the purple timing wire to rear of engine, removed wire, tried starting the same way via jumping pins, no start. Fried the jumper wire I was using. What the heck is going on here? Lots of little issues with this truck. Replaced the starter relay and still nothing. Power to the interior, the lights, everything else. Ignition control module maybe? Truck is sitting in the back of my pasture, should I call a mobile or continue to diagnose myself?
