I need some 6.0 LS truck help!!! I got the new motor put in and I don't have spark. my data log shows that I have a crank signal and the camshaft signal what am I missing?

Double check all grounds, even the ones on the back of the cylinder heads.
Make sure all IGN fuses are good too.
2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.
If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
Ok the power to the coil is good the trigger signal is good the. The ground from the pcm is good. But the chassis ground is there when the key is off but not when the key is on.
Sounds like a big volt drop if I read and interpretted that correctly... Sounds like a ground wire wasn't fully tightened or tightened down over paint or just not installed. Does the 05 have the ground from the driver's rear of head to body. That's the one I would ofter forget to tighten back down. OR did it have the ones going to the back of the passengers head? Can't remeber for the life of me... Anyway do a voltage drop test and see if your losing your grounds or not. You can always run a jumper cable from battery to engine and body to elliminate or pinpoint a lack of ground.

The ground to the fire wall, the 2 in the harness and the one to the battery are on a fresh machined block.
Bolts threaded all the way in and super tight? What happens when you try the jumper cables from battery ground to engine and body. Just cause their there and tight, doesn't mean the cables aren't bad. 1 ohm of resistance is all it takes on a main cable to cause issues.

I will try the jumper cables next. I triple checked the grounds. Thanks for the help. I also had some suggest the ignition module in the steering colum?
I thought you said you had pulsed referrences while cranking at the coil, just no ground? Put a test light on the coil wire and see if you have pulsed spark coming from the coil. Could be something as simple as the center contact fell out of the distributor cap durring install. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen that.

This is coil per cylinder (8). each coil Has 4 wires. Constant power, trigger power, computer ground, and main ground. When the key gets turned on I loose the main ground.
so g102 is your coil ground. it is in the harness down low on the driver's side of the block. looks like a smaller wire terminal under the neg batt cable at the bloĉk.
Yes it uses the bolt that part of the power steering pump bolts to the block with
Again, I aparently misunderstood the chassi and setup. Won't happen again. Sorry. All 8 coils go to G102 Ground... Cable from battery goes straight to G102... This ground apears to only be for coils and ignition module along with the main cable hook up... G102 is the main ground from battery... There should be two grounds grounding here... The one for ignition system and main... It's located right around the middle of the block just below the spark plugs driver's side under the exhaust manifold... Might want to make sure you hooked up the ignition system ground there.

Next stupid question... Main coil connectors are fully seated and when you installed the coils back on the motor, the wires underneath weren't pinched? Here's your basic flow chart. Top "go to's" are (YES's), Bottom "go to's" under each test are (NO's)
Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis
Circuit DescriptionThe electronic ignition system uses an individual ignition coil for each cylinder. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the ignition operation through eight individual ignition control (IC) circuits. Each bank of four ignition coils is connected to the PCM, power, or ground by the following circuits:
•Low reference
•Chassis ground
•Ignition 1 voltage
•The appropriate IC circuit
The PCM triggers an ignition coil by grounding the appropriate IC circuit using information from the crankshaft position (CKP) and camshaft position (CMP) sensors.
Diagnostic AidsImportant: A missing CMP sensor signal may cause a long crank condition.
The CKP signal must be available for the engine to start. The CMP signal is not needed to start and operate the engine. The PCM can determine when a cylinder is on either the firing or exhaust stroke by the 24X signal.
Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
Test DescriptionThe numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
5.Monitoring the misfire current counters determines if a fault is present.
12.A good indication that the fuse is open is all off the misfire current counters are incrementing on one side of the engine. Inspect the ignition positive voltage circuit for a grounded circuit. If the fuse is open and the ignition coil circuits are OK, inspect the injector circuits for being grounded.
17.The crankshaft position and the camshaft position sensors 12 V reference circuits are connected inside the PCM.
