No Fire? You mean you have no spark at the spark plugs, or it does not start and run?

Distirbutor or coil-pack, or coil per plug?

Does the exhaust smell of gasoline (presuming it is not a diesel?

If diesel, have you checked your ignitors/heaters?

Sorry....I am writing this for hubby..( he had to leave last night. ( Army)..we couldn't get it running)......

1994 Dodge Ram 1500 1/2 Ton 3.8

No fire at spark plugs or coil....Hoping there was some small something to check. Have someone else that can look at it...If I have an idea to tell them what is wrong. Thanks so much for your time.
