Spark plug wires to distributor cap diagram for a 2000 ram 1500

5.9 aren't prone to this, But pull the distributor cap. Have someone crank the engine and watch to see if the rotor moves. Also put the number one piston on top dead center on the compression stroke (remove the spark plug to check compression side). See where the rotor sets compared to a diagram At top dead center.. Sounds like the chain broke (unlikely) or jumped.

Firing order off the distributor cap to spark plugs.What position is the first spark plug wire on the distributor cap

There are 3 different engines for that year but the 5.2 and 5.9 are the same but gave you a picture of both anyway. I hope this helps and good luck.

firing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 standing in front of truck. cylinders on passenger side facing you are 2 4 6 8 cylinders on driver side facing you are 1 3 5 7 now this is your spark plugs wires location on distributor cap.with distributor facing you.2 plugs wire on cap 6 oclock position 1 plug wire on cap 8 oclock position,8 plug wire on cap 9 oclock position,4plug wire cap 10 oclock position,3 plug wire on cap 12 oclock position,6 plug wire on cap 1 oclock position, 5 plug wire on cap 3 oclock position, and 7 plug wire on cap 5 oclock position. in order for this to work you must be standing facing the engine all plug wire location on cap should be correct.

Like this?

Here is a picture:
