Default No Start!! Help!!!

Ok guys here is my dilema....instead of going to the dealership a.k.a stealership I wanted to post up on here first. I have an 05 Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi. Now I just got done driving it and shut it off, came back out to go somewhere and it would crank but it wouldnt start. So i thought it was the fuel pump so i replaced it didnt work. Then I thought crank sensor......didnt work...ok so now im thinking pcm....i still had my old one from when i had it replaced (it would start the truck just the shift points and idle where messed up) so i put that back in.....didnt work.....Now im really stumped as to what this issue could be.....if you have any ideas let me know please! thanks.

oh i thought you meant the computer on your truck lol..

try turning the key on-off-on-off-on-.. would flash a code in the odometer window if one is stored.

might take a couple tries

i would go through all your fuses and main relays make sure every thing looks kosher .

well not too familar with the 5.7 but i know a motor needs fuel-spark- and air... so if you have all that.. idk..
is there a cam sensor on the hemi? i had a camaro that wouldnt start cause the cam sensor.. probably a long shot but worth a try .. too bad all the hemi guys arent up late
