Hi I’m new on this site. I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 SLT 5.9 l. I have been having issues with my truck stalling and now it’s just not starting. Acting like it’s out of gas. It will turn over but nothing. I have replaced the crankshaft sensor, distributor and plate, rotor, ignition coil, battery and cables, plugs and wires. I’m almost positive I have a faulty ground. Can you tell me how many grounds I’m looking for. Found a bad ground coming from pcm read 0 ohms and cleaned it all up and now reads 20 ohms. I had recently gotten my air fixed and noticed there was a pretty good sized very wet passenger side floor board. Could that be the problem

 

Any codes? Are you hearing the fuel pump come on, Have fuel pressure? Are you getting spark from the coil? The wet floor is most likely the gasket between the hvac box and the firewall. It deteriorates and allows the water draining from the ac to come into the cab.

 

Uh, you want continuity but 0 ohms is fantastic (although kinda implausible as most DMMs will read a couple tenths of resistance in most circuits). 20 ohms is horrendous unless passing through a resistor

Are you definitely getting spark and fuel? Also for giggles look at ECT live data, should be close-ish to ambient before starting. Improper mixture will make for very hard starting and could cause a no start. But first make sure you're absolutely getting spark and fuel.

 

Have fuel pressure and getting spark from coil. Brand new plugs and wires. But I still think faulty ground somewhere. I have been going over wires and found a split in half ground wire from the bed to the cab. Would that make it no start and/or stalling. Also now have no gauges on dashboard. Please help.

 

And sorry the code on the odometer reads no bus and up top reads ccd

 

The ground wire wouldn't do anything.

What is your fuel pressure? Have a scanner that can read live data?

 

I’m sorry so not a mechanic just trying to troubleshoot my own truck. So no I don’t know how to check the fuel pressure. And one other thing I wanted to ask you. So I was having a lot of stalling issues so I changed the distributor cap and plate, rotor, ignition coil, battery, spark plugs and wires and crankshaft positioning sensor and right after that it ran like a new truck. Better than it’s ever drove for me. The steering wasn’t hard to steer I could steer it with one finger. Ran like that for about 36 hours and then went back to stalling and now it’s just not starting or showing any gauges. Why would that be

 

Is the odometer reading No Bus??

 

Yes and ccd on the top display

 

Communications issue.... Do you have a scanner, will it talk to the PCM? Check PCM fuses first..... There's a couple for the PCM, both in the fuse block on the side of the dash, and also in the PDC, I think.
