i just rebuilt the bottom end. the truck has been sitting for a couple of years. it will start, but dies immediately. it sounds good when it starts, but just dies. the scanner tool reads NO CODES.........I have checked and rechecked all connections i cant find a problem.........i did notice a little fluid coming out the tail pipe, i think it was gas but unsure........new fuel filter and i replaced the old gas with new and have fuel pressure at the fuel rail. I know im getting fire because it starts, it just wont stay running........HELP!

How does the harmonic balance look? I've heard of the ring gear(exciter) being damaged, or loose and this type of thing happens, also the crank sensor sustain any damage while changining the thrust bearing? Crank could have slipped backward and dinged the sensor?
