6010 problems!!!! Ok so i have had my truck running with the 6010 for about a year and a half and over the winter i pulled the motor and trans to do freshin up some things. I got it put back in and tried to start today andi wasnt getting a tach signal. So after replacing the crank sensor with a new one i still didnt have signal. I spoke with msd and they said they could test the box but if the sensor is good and the ground and 12 volts is good its probably the box. Have you guys had a box go bad before?

guy I know runs the 6012 and is on his 6th one. Check your grounds and power again, then connect your laptop to it to see if it is powering on and communicating.
his is a wiring issue though, he had to replace a bunch of wiring I think is what was said.

I have 11.9 volts to pink wire and a good ground. The box communicates to computer. I also checked the voltage and ground at the sensor and i also get some voltage on the feedback wire from crank sensor when cranking.

I'll bet she's cranking slow too.
Charge the living **** out of your battery borderline overcharge and then see if you can get fire (a non electronic charger works best)..
It's what I had to do for my initial startup to ever get ignition.

Unfortunately till the box relearns your crank and cam sensor signal it's gonna have to spin pretty hard. Take the plugs out and crank it and see if you have ignition then
11.9v is a battery almost 1/2 discharged. Why are you trying to start it without charging anyways.

I would try what Krochus said. Get your volts up and have it crank faster. Might even try it with the battery charger hooked up. Try cleaning the battery posts while you are at it. Clean the connectors on any ground straps between the motor and chassis too. If you do all that and it still doesn't register a cranking speed on the lap top, try pulling your plugs and crank it again.
In the early days it was pretty common to have the boxes not read a crank signal until the motor was cranked over at a high speed. Guys would even have to pull spark plugs to get it to crank over fast enough to register the first time. Seems like once it registers it will work from then out. Some guys said they had to go so far as to crank the motor over with 2 batteries (24 v) to the starter. Not sure I would ever recommend that though.
I assume you triple checked all the coil packs are plugged in and nothing else is loose?

Yes box is getting power while cranking. I charged battery to 12.8 then put charger on 50 amp start and cranked for 10-15 seconds about 5 times and nothing. Nothing has changed since the last time it ran.

The box isn't powered on a relay is it?

Not being a smartass, seriously, but are you certain everything is plugged in? Is the cam sensor plugged in and did you check it? Are you running a MAP sensor, and if not did you zero out the MAP table? Just things I have both had told to me and read about.
Check to make sure none of the harness might have gotten pinched when re-assembling everything.

By nothing you mean it won't start or the lap top hooked to the box while cranking isn't showing RPM?
