Default HELP!!! 2001 dodge ram won't start

I've got a 2001 Dodge ram 1500. I assumed the battery was dead so charged it. But after charging it will crank but won't actually start. Does anybody have any ideas what could be the problem?

is the starter turning the engine ?
when you turn the key to "on", do you hear the fuel pump turn on (whining noise) ?
try depressing the gas pedal a little, or a lot, while cranking ?
check for fuel pressure at the rail using the little push valve. don't smoke.
pour a couple of spoonfuls of gas down the tb. caution- just a little, don't smoke.
check for spark at the plugs.

did you quicky charge or a slow full charge of the battery?
