Default Rolled my truck now it won't start?

Rolled my truck once, landed on its wheels, it turns over, doesn't start, it back fired once, trying to sell it for parts, don't know why it won't start. No front end damage.

How did you manage to roll it? Im guessing you are ok?

As to why it wont start it could be many things. Start with the basics, air, fuel, spark

Deer, wet roads, and a nice ditch, I walked away without a scratch. But where should I start, and what should I look for?

have someone try to crank it and make sure its pumping air out the tail pipe.

pull the plugs and leave them connected and lay them on something metal and grounded, crank it and check for spark.

push the key forward not not in the start position. does the fuel pump kick on? Any fuel pressure at the schrader valve on the intake fuel rail?

do we have fuel cut out switches for roll over. I know my wife's ford does, just never looked for it on the dodge?

He prolly tripped the roll over sensor which locks-out the fuel pump to prevent fires....

He'll need a dealer reset and likely a whole bunch of new stuff... lol

Any way to bypass the roll over sensor?I'm parting out the truck and it'd be nice to prove it runs

To be honest I'm not even sure where the roll over sensor is, but my guess is you should ask your local Dodge Dealer, ask for their master technician or service manager and see what they can tell you.
