i just recently replaced my engine with another 5.9 v8 everything was working fine now problems no noise nothing drove it to work and as i was pulling into the parking spot the truck just shuts off and now it wont start. It keeps trying to turn over but it wont im not low on any fluids and i checked all the connections to the engine and everything is still connected does anyone have any suggestions.

Fuel pump? Fuel pump relay or fuse?

Do you have spark? That could be a failed coil. But other things can also cause it. Fuel pressure, as Jamie said, or a crank position sensor. But those usually fail slowly.

It sounds like the body ground to the back of the block.

Try making a temp connection between the engine and the body with the negative side of a pair of jumper cables to see if it fires.

distributor not turning

Hi all My name is David I have a 2000 ram 1500 5.9 2wd about a I had a big coolant leak go my truck did not over heat I thought the leak was coming from the tstat housing so I took it off at the same time I broke the screw so I had my dad help me get it and he used a gas torch to get it out after all and me fixing the leak I tried to start the truck crank but no start so I check spark and no spark so I replaced the ignition coil and still no spark and I noticed I had a code got a scanner check the code and p0340 popped up so I replaced the pickup coil still no spark so I replaced the cap and rotor still no spark somebody told me to change the ckps that maybe the problem still no spark and I went to work on my truck and I checked to see if the distributor was turning and its not. My question is it possible that the shaft maybe broken or could it be the chain I tried to turn the shaft by hand and its hard feels like its still engaged
