Did you also replace the camshaft sensor ?
Not yet! That is the only thing I haven't done. What about the pick up coil?
I did try a spark plug straight from the coil and got no spark!
The check engine is not on!

Did you check for a blown ignition fuse ?
No would that be in the cabin or in the engine fuse box?

If fuses are good and no check engine light it could be the coil or camshaft sensor just make sure the connections are tight and no sign of corrosion. That is just about everything
I already replaced the coil so I will try the camshaft! Thanks for all your help!!
Did you ever figure it out
I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find out what was the problem?
Same problem here ..changed water pump and thermostat ...then you deds like no fire ...changed plugs wires cam sensor and crank sensor still sounds exactly the same please help going nuts behind this truck
I have the same year dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.2 auto and replaced everything you guys are talking about and it still didnt fix the problem. So i replaced the ecm/pcm and that and that fixed the problem for about 4 mounths when it fried the ecm again.
