2001 Ram 3.9L V6 replaced clutch, won’t start! FLYWHEEL PLACEMENT?
Ok, we drove my son’s 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L V6 up on the ramps, was running fine. Pulled the tranny, had a pickle of a time getting the pilot bearing out but eventually did, pulled the flywheel and cleaned it up (didn’t mark it), fixed an oil leak in the rear main seal, put it all back together and it gets plenty of spark but won’t fire. Replaced the crank sensor on the back on the tranny, still tries to start but just won’t. Now, the flywheel for this truck is discontinued and I can’t find a pic of it anywhere. With only 6 bolts and no dial pin, you wouldn’t think placement would be an issue but since the crank sensor on this model is on the back on the tranny, could that cause it not to start? Hayne’s manual doesn’t say anything about exact flywheel placement... about at the end of my rope lol. Any help? Please?

About the cam position sensor...
We firgured that could be it, forgot to mention we replaced that sensor also and a new distributor cap for good measure. Still won’t start but it gets great spark.

FLywheel etc..
Put the old sensors back on. New sensors, unless OEM, don't act nicely. If the old ones worked, why replace them? Check the cap wires / order.
Why is the flywheel discontinued? Isn't the V6 the same as the 5.2 without two cylinders? There's plenty of 5.2 flywheels. . . weird

The dealership looked up the flywheel by vin, discontinued and no replacement found so go figure. I guess my main question is if anyone knows the exact placement for the flywheel on this truck. There was no dial pin, 6 bolts and an extra hole, and I’m not sure if the no start would have to do with the position of the tone ring.
