we have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 v8 there is no power going to the coil or the fuel pump. We were driving along and it just died. We changed the fuel pump, the crank sensor and the coil, what next?

the asd relay in the fuse box is what sends power to the fuel pump relay and the coil.
the ecm grounds the relay with the key on. if it does not, there is a fault somewhere. check the fuses first.

does the check engine light come on with the key in the on position??

check the fuses. if they are ok, i bet you have a computer failure.
i have seen this many times in the past. no warnings, just fails.

get a shop to confirm to be sure.
