Check fuel pressure. If you have fuel pressure, check for spark. Let us know what you find.

I`m betting its a spark issue. It ran perfect when I fired it up after changing everything. Then ran perfect after clearing the codes. I`m not sure if I could have hit something but funny that it ran perfect before. I do hear the fuel pump cycle but guess its possible it`s bad. Had to walk my kids down the road for lunch and just got back a bit ago so I havent been able to get back to it.

sprayed some starting fluid into the throttle body and got nothing. Its something in the ignition I`m sure. I`m going to go get my spark tested and test light and hopefully have it back on the road tomorrow. Just seems odd that I would have a ignition failure right after doing a tune up. Started it several times after and it ran fine. Weird

Simple fix. Pickup coil connector was not connected completely. I never touched it so it's been ready to fall off since I got the truck in February. Runs pretty good now but still down on power compared to my old 99 C/K 5.0 vortec.
