Quick way to check ALDL port:
Jumper on the trucks ALDL connector the upper right 2 pins, then turn key ON (up instrument lights should light) to AUX, the check engine light should start pulsing 1 then 2 (12) for a total of 3 times, after this trouble codes should flash. I can not remember which syty site has the trouble codes but is findable from this site, should be in the scanner manual.
I've never used a scanner to pull codes, should also have to turn key ON to pull TC's.

Hope to have helped.

Yes Iknow all this but it would be helpfull if I was new

I am trying to find out why it is dead DEAD nothing no power!

As far as I can tell it was no cuts or anything like that
 
i had the same deal and it was kicking my ass.
turns out - ecm worked perfectly, truck ran fine, blah blah blah.
ecm was indeed bad - least that part of it that barfs up info.
swapped to a spare, voila, data spewing everywhere.
try another ecm b4 you pull your hair out.
