Try swapping injectors between 5 and another and see if the problem moves with it or not.

Hi Emann, good to see you back.

To be fair, "everything possible" hasn't been done yet. We can help you get there though, but you have to answer more questions.

We're still looking for answers to my question of 09-09-2018 09:57MDT and 09-10-2018, 05:57MDT where I asked:

. . . and never saw a response. Please respond in thread: https://www.gmforum.com/gmc-chevrole...2500hd-312060/

. . . to keep thread sprawl under control. We are also awaiting a response on the question:

. . . as it appears you either have two similar trucks with the similar issues or posted the same issue in two threads.

Either way, in order to eliminate confusion, we need to keep Jroy'* issue in Jroy'* thread and your issue in your thread, preferably: https://www.gmforum.com/gmc-chevrole...2500hd-312060/

If you have suggestions for troubleshooting his issue we're happy to have the assistance, however, his issue and driveline are different enough compared to your issue and driveline that likely the solutions will be different. You can always keep tabs on Jroy'* thread just in case, and if Jroy'* solution looks like it will help you, I'll probably remember to relay to: https://www.gmforum.com/gmc-chevrole...2500hd-312060/

Thanks!

Yeah, that'd be a good check. Has the engine had any trauma in its life that you know of?

No trama I know of besides sitting for about 3 yrs I did compression test twice on all cylinders plus put oil in #5 after getting 0 both times
compression results
#1 168
#3 165
#5 0. With oil in cylinder still 0
#7 165
#2. 165
#4. 160
#6. 168
#8. 165
pulled valve cover on odd side valves are moving and rockers are not any looser than the others I snaked a camera in thru the spark plug hole looked at the piston no hole and watched it go up and down the cylinder as I turned the crank by hand no scratches or gouging on cylinder wall and the oil I put in the cylinder is still sitting on top of the piston I did notice what looked like a stain on one part of the wall but nothing else also looked at valves with camera and they are closing and opening inside the cylinder I am totally at a loss on why no compression next step I'm thinking of putting more oil in cylinder to cover top of piston to see if it leaks by or I can get any type of compression on #5 any thoughts or ideas will greatly appreciated

Broken valve face. Cracked head. Piston rings gone.

Bring #5 to TDC and put air onto it and see where the air is going.I would suspect a valve issue

Yeah, what they said ^^^^^^ .

A five year old C3500 being suddenly parked at less than 200,000 miles is unlikely. That'* a lot of investment to be left depreciating. Any idea why was it parked for so long?

Is it a construction/contractor/service truck or a personal truck?
