Default Need help! No Spark

I was driving down the highway the other day and all of a sudden, the truck just died on me. I am not getting any spark to the plugs. Truck cranks over, there is RPM when it cranks, I have spark coming out of the ignition coil to the distributor. Thought it might be the distributor, so I replaced it but still having the same issues. Anyone else had this issue before?

When you replaced the dizy do you mean cap and rotor or just the dizy body, or all of it?
If the dizy body was changed you will need to have your fuel sync reset by the dealer. Start with a new dizy cap and rotor button, how old are the spark-plug leads?

Replaced the whole body, cap and rotor (came complete with everything). Plug leads were changed about 40,000km ago (25,000 miles). Like I said, we pulled the lead off the ignition coil and checked for spark and had spark coming out of the coil going to the distributor. But nothing coming out of distributor

Assuming the distributor went back in correctly, I'd try the crank sensor next.

Have you check and confermend all timing marks between the HB and the timing cover and the dizy line up? Does the dizy rotor button turn when turning the motor over?
