Truck won't start-Grounds!

nice find. glad to hear it started. the ground should be an easy fix now.

EDIT:as for the title change I wonder if they could add it to the ground checklist as well. it seem the 6.5 are extra picky about them.
 
I didn't have time today to track down that ground and fix it, so I put the wire back from the relay directly to the battery ground to make it useable in the mean time.

Apparently when I took off the airbag and put it back on I did something incorrectly. The airbag light is on and I don't know how to fix it.

I also have a SES light that I'll get read tomorrow.
 
The two intake manifold grounds and the one on the back of the passenger head are notorious for causing all sorts of problems due to their ability to accumulate all sorts of crud, corrosion, gunk, etc being close to the transmission dipstick, turbo and CDR valve. Part of my fall pre-winter preventative maintenance is pulling those grounds, cleaning all the surfaces with contact cleaner and lightly burnishing them with crocus cloth, reassembling and torquing them and then spraying them with a light coating of battery terminal sealer/corrosion preventer.

Bad grounds are the Achilles Heel of the 6.5.
