Rebuilt engine just put in, everything hooked up, starter, battery, hot, grounds everything like that but i have no power at all in the cab when I turn the key?

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum nitro. Have you looked at the fusible link at the starter? You should be able to see by looking at it, if it is melted. Might have pinched a wire during the motor change. Alternator all good? What year is the truck?

Unless it was a motor swap, there was no 2.8 available for those years.

It is a 1986. Checked wires to starter, no fusable link, wires come out of loom and directly to starter.
