Which engine? The 8.1 had a fairly common issue with the crank position sensor. One of the symptoms is a crank no start scenario.

Really sounds like you would be time ahead, not money, to have it towed in and run through. Had a very similar issue, the little buggers got up in the wiring one cold snap night. Shorted out a few minor things like the computer, the wiring harness, fuse box, sensors, etc. On a 2 week old Denali it cost $3,600 to replace all the messed up stuff. New whiz bang trucks are nice but the little wire munchers raise holy havoc with them. No matter what they are. Saw a Toyota last week sitting in a parking spot, widows going up and down, no one in it, hey mister your truck is playin musical windows, yeah, squirrels ate up the wiring last night.

Then it might be reliable. Start disassembling and roll on with all new wire harness.

Yeah because they never have any issues at 20 years old. 1999 F250 7.3 Super Duty Had the same issue as the OP a couple years ago. Turns out there is a triple relay bank, one of which is the Low Voltage Relay buried deep under the dash, behind the radio, screwed to the firewall. The Low Voltage Relay reads the voltage at the batteries and determines if there is enough to start the truck. If not, it cuts the power to the PCM.... to safeguard it. It all started with a battery terminal that looked perfect on the external, but was corroded internally. Drove me absolutely crazy for about three weeks. It was a skin scraping job getting to the relay. Looked like I had wrestled a few Bobcats.

Gunchamp - good luck with the fix. I admire your perseverance.
In any case- you are a good Dad!

If the scanner can’t talk to the pcm , 99% of the time it’s the pcm. Already bought a brand new pcm. Didnt change a thing I once replaced a part and the new one was bad too, replaced that one after eliminating everything else and it worked just fine. Frustrating as all hell. Second most frustrating was a fuse that was almost completely blown but still had a thread of connection. No idea how either happened. Is it plugged in? Have you tried restarting?

It was probably something so simple like turning the ignition key that now he's too embarrassed to tell us.
