After it rained my truck wouldn't start. Would turn over till you drained the battery but would not start.

I replaced all the plugs,wires,distributor and rotor button and that fixed the problem to a tune of around $100.

Ram 1500 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

one day it starts the next it won't. I get power just will not turn over. When it does, I have to hold the key for about 1 min while it is started or it will quit. The whole time I have to pump the hell out of it & hold the gas down at times until it starts or not.
