Default No start after swapping transmission

Hey guys, I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport with the 5.9L V8 4x4. I just swapped out the transmission and now I’m not getting any spark. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor because I realized I accidentally broke it. Still no spark and it’s throwing the code P0320. Help please???

Its still whining about the crank sensor. Did the harness get pinched? If the wiring is ok, likely it just doesn't like the sensor. These trucks are notorious for that..... they want genuine mopar sensors, or they simply will not play nice.

No, it’s no longer throwing that code but there’s still no spark. Still cranking but not actually firing. There’s actually no codes coming up at all.

Heyyou speaks gospel on this one. During the '90's when these pickups were designed n built, Dodge only hired engineers from Joe's school of sadism n cortional science. It's a common problem with these beasts that the wire that leads to the crank sensor will get pinched between the tranny case n engine block. They'll sag...just enough...to accomplish this task outside of your notice. Get a good auto mirror and check to see that nothing is between your engine block and tranny case while also checking to see if your cam position sensor/distributor pick up coil r plugged in and undamaged.
