I have a 97 chevy silverado pickup with the 5.7 v8 in it and Im having problems starting. I replaced the battery, alternator, and starter and now it just cranks and cranks and cranks? Could it be my ignition module, crank sensor, or what? PLease help.

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Go from there.
