    I found the schematic on the pcm I have power and ground so I guess the pcm is bad

    It's weird that it would just die at a fuel stop.

    There's more to diagnosing a bad PCM than that, isn't there? I guess I'm just seeing what's here in the thread, but pulled over for gas and filled up and now truck won't start and you verified juice and ground at the PCM so PCM is bad? I'm not saying it isn't that, I'm just thinking there could be a few other culprits to check before jumping to a bad PCM right?

    No, I'm not correct man, I just don't want you to spend on a PCM quite yet.
    So just for clarity, you turn the key and hold to start and what happens? Does the engine turn and turn but not fire up? Does the starter just click loud once and then nothing?

    Or maybe I misread, you already checked all of that stuff like fuel pump, etc?
    You double checked fuses, under the hood fuses as well?

    When the knock sensors fail they can cause no start condition. I think same with crank position sensor.

    I thought the same thing but when you turn the key on the check engine light doesn't come on but the rest of the lights come on so that tells me the pcm is not firing up to do the self check

    Even then, it's just so rare for the ecus to fail. But it does happen
