Truck ran great 5 days ago, with no obvious signs of a problem. Today I tried to start it-engine cranks strong with no signs of 'ignition'. To diagnose the problem: I poured a gallon of gas into the tank, put a tablespoon of gas down the intake-tried to start it, pulled a spark plug and with wire connected I had the motor turned over-no spark, listened for the fuel pump during the first 2 seconds of having the ignition turned on-no sound.

You first have to scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge inorder to find out if any codes are set and if you have enough fuel pressure. Also check your fuses and asd relay in underhood fuse box. Lastly if no codes come up check cranks and cam sensors those as well as the connector on crank sensor are biggies for a no start on Chrysler products/
