Default Truck still not starting

I posted a thread a few days ago and got my truck started and what seemed to be running good. After me and my buddy fixed some rear end parts i took the truck plowing and about 5 minutes after driving it sputtered and died. we jumped it and got it running again. Yesterday we went to work on it and got nothing, it wont start. It turns over fine, its got good spark, fluids are all filled, its getting gas and air, I replaced the oxygen sensor and even cut out the cat to see if it was clogged and still nothing. I dont know what else it could be if anyone has an idea the help is greatly apreciated. Thanks alot guys

Did you check the fuel pressure with a gauge?

I havent checked the fuel pressure with a gauge yet but thing is i can spray starting fluid in and still i get nothing. it seems as if it would be a lack of spark but i checked that all out and it was fine

i have a 2000 ram, and i started having the same problem on tuesday night, good thing i work at a honda dealership, and not far from tools and lifts. i thought it might have been the distributer cap since it was raining hard and my hood seal was loose so i replaced that and the old one was not wet like i thought it might have been. i am going to further look at it tomorrow, but i think it might be the fuel pump
