Sounds like you have hit all the bases except fuel. Inexpensive fuel test gauge hook up and turn key to on should read at least 60 PSI. Crank engine and see it pressure goes down bad fuel pump or regulator if doesn't hold over 55 PSI

Check your icm module that connects to the pick up coil under the distributor coil

Check your position of your cap it could be timing

Did the truck run before you changed the timing chain if yes you may have to revisit that repair as all your issues seem to have started after that, if no than you have to start still have to re-check spark and distributor timming.

I have rechecked everything 4,5,6 times over on my dash the security light on the dash is on and stays on never goes out.

Bet it had to do with your keyfob or security chip/dead battery possibly.

Stalling issues

Chevrolet Blazer 1993 K blazer 275365 miles
I have 1993 K Blazer that seems to stall when its hot and humid out... I have put new motor that now has about 60,000 miles on it... I have replaced map,sensor,egr,distributor,plugs,wires,coil,vacuum lines,fuel pump, fuel tank because it had a hole, vents in tank, fuel filter and many other parts and noone can still seem to figure out why i have intermittent stalls... It could be on interstate, at red light, stop sign it just will stall and start back up... It always seems to do it when it is hot and humid or just started because i didnt have this problem over winter or spring... Can someone please help me

Electrical failure

Chevrolet Blazer 2001  250000 miles
Good afternoon, I would be glad if anyone could help me with my problem. My car had a failure in the fuel pump's fuse, and at the whole fuse box was replaced by a new one. That was the moment when a strange electrical failure appeared. I've already bought three batteries and a whole fuel pump and the problem is still there. It has happened only once that it started and lasted on for an hour and then stalled. I've also changed the coil and the module but it is still failing.

Direct short cranks but wont.

Chevrolet Blazer 1999 4.3 l ls  2600000 miles
Ii have a 1999 blazer it just died on me after sputtering and I barely made it home. Next morning no crank no start. Replaced coil and ignition module and started after I put my test light on the crank fuse which grounded it out. Since then I've replaced everything only to find I have a parasitic draw wich turns out to be a direct short somewhere. The plug under the fuse box has 13 slots going to ground that shouldn't. I removed the block from the fuse box and my short at the battery cables went away. But after vmback probing the plug it's still grounded out somewhere. Should I just change the harness?
