08 1500 with no power at all. Went to start it a couple days ago and got nothing so I changed out the starter went to start it up and got a pretty loud pop from under the hood. Prior to the pop everything had power. Checked all the fuses and everything looked fine so I’m kind of stumped. Everything I’ve been reading indicates to a bad tipm but again I’m kind of clueless as to what the problem could be. I have a list of codes available to share if someone wants a little more insight to help me diagnose the issue

Codes would definitely be helpful.

Why did you replace starter? You indicated no power, does that mean no dash lights or anything turning on? Did you load test the battery to determine if amps hold under load?

I replaced the starter because I went to start it when everything still had power because it was stuck and clicked when I went to start the truck. No power to absolutely anything. The battery was taken from one of my other 1500’s and was working fine in it.

That looks like a typical DTC storm, often caused by a inadequate battery.

Step 1 is to charge the battery and then load test with a toaster-style battery load tester like the following $28 device.
