Dodge Ramcharger Spark Problem

Replaced fuel pump, then ran great. then wouldn't not turn over, checked battery, replaced it, ran great. 4 days would not turn over, checked alternator, replaced new. Now it will not fire but turn over great. Primed it several to start and nothing, acts like no gas gets to carb.
