Unhappy 2005 Dodge ram 3500 Wont start..

Ok i bout a 2005 dodge ram 3500 4 door dully with the big bad 5.9 cummins with a 6 spd.. it would run and drive when we bought it, but was wrecked in the front and and work got bissy and i did not have time to fix right a way and it sit out in the back yard for about a yr with out me messing with it. And work slowed down and i got the parts to fix it. And went out to start it and it would not start and razed the hood and some jack a$$ took the #4 injector line, and the crank sensor off of the truck. So i bought a new line, and sensor and put it on. And the truck still would not start so we put a new fuel filter on it as well and still no start and run. Had a guy come and look at it and he said that the Injector pump wasn't putting out enough PSI so we bought a new one and put it on the truck.. That was a good 1100.00.. And still no start and run.. But i can put some gas on a rag and hold it over the air inlet and it will start and i can keep it running for about 3 to 5 min, and then it just dies and will not start back even with the gas on a rag trick just hit and try to start.. i am only getting 1 code.. And it is P0148 And i was getting that code before we put the new Pump on it.. Any and all help would be grate..

Thanks..
Ray

Why did you move this over to the CTD section?? There is never any body on it... And since you have done this it takes me like 45 mins to get to it to see if anyone's looked at it or posted to it.. You just suck...

Default good guess here

I'm going to guess they took something else. If you are getting fuel to the injectors, they are not firing for some reason. I'm going to guess the ECM is not telling them to fire because you are missing a crank sensor?

Let us know what you find.

Well we put a new crank sensor and cam sensor in it about a week ago. Kaz it had a code that said that one of them was bad.. And there only about 30 buck each.. But the one code is low rail PSI.. I'm starting to think that it has an Injector stuck open.. When i talked with a dodge teak the other day he said that if it had a Injector stuck open that it will not start kaz of no fuel psi kaz the injectors have to have so much psi before they will open.. So im going to try to get it to dodge i guess in the next couple of days..
