I have a 2000 gmc Sierra 3/4 ton 4x4 k series I have no spark to my spark plugs I have changed the crank sensor an the ignition module not sure what else I can try I'm thinking maybe the ignition coil

Check to see if you are getting spark from the coil to the distributor. I suppose the engine is a 5.7 liter?If not getting spark to the cap, then check for power and ground pulse at the coil.If there is spark at the cap, replace the ignition rotor. If there is no power or ground pulse at the coil,check to see if the ignition rotor is spinning when the starter is engaged. If the distributor is not spinning while cranking the engine there are several more things you'll need to check,i.e.,distributor gear and pin as well as oil pump if the pin or gear are damaged.

96 sierra 4x4 5.7, no spark, no fuel, only have .4 volts at ingition module, coil, and 10A ign fuse. Door locks don't engage when turn key,

Something wrong in the fuse box if you only have .4 volts at the fuse. Maybe a loose terminal in there.

My coil is firing but not getting spark out of cap, cap is good, rotor is good, ign module tested good.

Recheck the cap. I am sure you dropped the carbon conductor that conects the HT from coil to rotor. I need feedback on this one.

I have a 1997 Gmc Sierra 5.7 4x4. It has no spark. I replaced the coil and ign module today but still no spark. Tech suggested Crank shaft sensor? Truck was running then died going down road. (30kms after...

It could be the CPS, but as you now know throwing parts at a repair is costly and sometimes it does not fix anything. A code scanner should be able to tell you if the sensor is bad. If the CPS goes bad you will have no spark.
