Hello everyone new member to the DF and really appreciate all the information you members give out. Here's my problem I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 5.9L a/t 4x2 that will not start. No spark and fuel pump doesn't turn on when I cycle the key. All this happened after I replaced the transmission. The truck started up but was running rough so I left it running and went to get some gas for it when I returned 5 minutes later it was not running and hasn't been since. I have replaced the plugs,wires, rotor and cap, battery and TPS. I have read some things online about the wiring being a issue but I don't want to tear into that unless I have to and have a wiring diagram. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I love my truck and don't want to have to get rid of it
365000 miles on original motor and when running is strong.

 

Probably crunched the crank position sensor while doing the trans. It's on the bell housing behind the passenger side head. Pull it, see what it looks like.

 

Thanks I will check it out.

 

So here is a update on my problem. I checked the crankshaft position sensor and the wiring was pinched between engine and transmission was worn down to the wire so I replaced it. Still have the same problem no spark, no start. I really appreciate any advice/ information anyone is willing to provide. Thank you.

 

What brand sensor did you get? Also check the cam position sensor wiring, it's back there too, comes out of the distributor.

 

The brand was ultra-power. I ordered it from Rock Auto

 

I also replaced the fuel pump assembly at the same time. I was not getting any fuel to the rail before I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and fuel pump assembly. Now I am getting fuel to the rail but no injector pulse and no spark. I have new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor

 

Get a crank sensor from the dealer, or, a cheaper source that sells OEM sensors, these trucks simply do not like aftermarket sensors.

 

Ok I'll go to the dealership and get one tomorrow. Thanks for the help
