hey all, just wondering if you can help me figure out why my truck wont run...it turns over, but wont fire up. I have it in a shop, they say they can't figure it out either, I had them change the coil, the distributor, the cam sensor is new, the crank sensor is new...what should I try next besides a bullet in the block?? Hope you can help before I pull all my hair out!

ok, we have fire all the way to the coil, but not from the coil to the dist...the coil is new-so did I get a bad new one? Could it be the ignition? If anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated...My truck is stuck in another town 70 miles from home...

they sell bad "new" parts everyday. take the coil back and get a different brand then see what you got .

what about the battery? From what I have read, it needs to be totally 12V and a clean connection.

yeah a dodge has to have a good hot battery[a wimpy battery ain't gonna do it] and clean tight terminals.what did it do after you put different coil on? one other thing take the distributor top off and see if the rotor is turning. if not then it's the timing chain
