2000 Dodge Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

the truck was driven through high water during a flood, it died several times but would restart. A day or so later the truck would start then die after 5 to 10 minutes. Now the truck is dead completley when it quit the starter quit also we fixed the strter but have no spark we replaced the coil no spark we replaced the pcm no spark were do we go next? Can you direct us to someone who has a better repair manual than a chiltonsor give us a direction to go

Hi dlbullseye360,

Thank you for the donation.

There are a few engine variants and I need to know the specific model and engine type to be able to get an accurate analysis of the problem so would need you to fill me in if the following does not help.

The most likely cause would be the crankshaft position sensor located on right rear of engine block, ( for 3.2 L, 3.9L and 5.2L )( On right lower side of cylinder block, above oilpan rail for 8.0L)) . The flood water could have contaminated or damaged it causing the no spark.

The stories sounds a little fishy, because of what you say "when it quit the starter quit also" so what you're trying to tell me is you had spark till you "fixed the starter but have no spark" you better check the starter again you probably left some wires off the solenoid that feed power to the ignition system, double check your starter installation
