Default Hey could use some help, 1995 Ram 1500 5.9L V8

Hey everyone.
I had my truck break down on me two weeks ago. just replaced my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L V8 fuel pump and fuel hose. That wasn’t the issue. Took it into a shop and they replaced my ignition switch. Got up this morning And after driving it the last two days with no issues the engine cranked but won’t start up. It fired up perfectly fine tat 5 pm last night now this morning it was cold, but in the garage and nothing.

Need to see what isn't there. You need spark, fuel, air to run. Can you hear the fuel pump "whine" when you turn the key forward?

Swap your fuel pump relay with the a/c relay. If it's working then, you may just have a weak relay. Cheap at $20 or so and you pull them out and plug them in under the hood. I had a 2001 Ram 2500 that had one that would flutter. The PO gave it up as a lost cause. Took me 5 minutes to swap. I bought a new one, put the a/c relay back and put the new one in the slot.
