Hey! I just joined dodgeforum to ask a couple questions n see if I could diagnose whats wrong with my 98' ram 1500 5.9. And I know that a lot of people hate on the 5.9 so i'm prepared to hear it but I really just want to know whats wrong with it. I was driving it during the winter and while driving it the truck just up and shut off, but I had about 1/2 a tank so it wasn't the fuel. the fuel pump runs when i try to turn it over but it just turns and won't start. have had issues with the PCM in the past, but replaced it. current standing issues are the ABS module and wheel speed sensor; dad thought it was the distributer but i came here to gather some ideas.

 

You need to see what you are missing fuel or spark. Just because you are getting fuel to the rail doesn't mean the injectors are firing.

 

If the fuel pump runs while cranking, (not just at initial key on) I would suspect the cam sensor..... Parts stores call it the 'pickup coil', even though that is not really what it is. Still, The Fanatic has the right of it, see what you are missing, injector pulse, or spark.
