It is possible that the solenoid on the starter binds when the starter is hot. When you say that the starter was tested, was it tested hot? Does the starter click when you attempt to start it? When you turn the key, the switch energises a small relay, which in turn energises the solenoid, which in turn applies power to the starter motor. The solenoid should make an audible sound when it pulls in the plunger. If you have a second person, one could turn the key, and another could gently hit the solenoid with a rubber or plastic hammer. This worked on a Dodge minivan that I had. An image of the plunger is available at http://www.amazon.com/Starter-Solenoid-Rebuild-Contacts-Intrepid/dp/B00COOB298

You make it sound as though that before you replaced the crank sensor that it WOULD start, but I'm thinking that makes no sense or you would not have done that in the first place. Easter-egging parts to repair vehicles is a costly, often losing proposition. You are better to either: 1. Properly go through the process of determining which of the four necessary components is missing before swapping parts, or 2. Pay a mechanic to do it for you. You must determine what is causing the no-start condition. There are four components required for an internal combustion engine to work: 1. Fuel 2. Air 3. Spark 4. Compression If you get a can of starting fluid, you can spray some into the intake while cranking the engine. If it starts, you have 2, 3, and 4. If it doesn't, then you must look deeper. Air is usually there. It is almost never the problem, so ignore it for the most part unless the vehicle starts with the air cleaner removed. Spark can be the hardest to determine, especially since vehicles are computer-controlled these days. A failed crank sensor cam sensor/pickup coil, ignition module, ECM, or even the vehicle security system can result in no spark. Fuel is easier to determine, since you can listen for the fuel pump to dun, and can usually check for fuel at the fuel rail. However, there is the possibility that the ECM isn't firing the fuel injectors, so even with the fuel right up to the engine, that is no guarantee of fuel to the cylinders. For these reasons, if you are not equipped a fairly good knowledge of modern engine controls, and don't have the equipment to test and monitor the engine systems, you may well get off cheaper to have a mechanic do the work for you.

This vehicle doesn't have a cam shaft sensor such as vehicles that use coil packs do. This vehicle has a distributor and uses a pick-up coil that is internal to the distributor to determine camshaft position. It looks like this:

Do you feel the brake pedal go down when you hold you foot on the pedal while starting the truck ? Maybe the power booster is bad. The power brake booster is vacuum controlled in most cases an if you hold your foot on the brake pedal when starting you should feel the pedal go down if working correctly .

Check hose that goes into the power booster has vacuum and not blocked check power booster.

You are replacing parts but you should be focusing on wiring. you will need to physically check all the wiring for the rear tail lights and the front park lights for shorts to ground. you can also unplug all of the bulb sockets, replace the fuse, and see if it blows. if it does than it is in the wiring. If it does not than plug the sockets back in one at a time until the fuse blows, then inspect or replace that socket.

Security light on/flashing. Check for spark at the plugs and check fuel pressure. With security, Dodges will start and die, three times, then nothing.

check the connector under rear if its got a trailer haul package check the blinker relay ..its what cliks an is plugged into the fuse panel or therbouts. round cylinder thingamabobs or square i dont know this model exact http://www.autohausaz.com/secure/partimages/0336203005.jpg or http://www.autohausaz.com/secure/partimages/61361388547.jpg

Did you check the fuse? Did you replace the high beam ? remember not to use your bare hands when replacing them.

Bummer deal! On some cars this happens to warn you tail lights are out! ...check as follows... Sounds like tail light bulbs are wasted - or a fuse for that circuit needs replaced. Remove light bulbs and see if there is a brake in their tiny filament. Replace both sides if not sure. See the fuse panel cover or car manual for the fuse location. A spare may be there to replace - if needed - or buy a pak of the size sown. Hope this helps. gc http://www.auto-tune-up-and-repair-options.com/

You must have done some work recently on vehicle
Lets start with simple back tracing
Ground wires
Starter look at first to see if ground off properly
Brakes
Abs sensors didnt connect right
Radio install
These wires factory set if you spliced into them then undo splices
Wrong tail light bulb
Frozen open or shut relay
Relay panel match relay numbers to other relays there and just do a swap change there positions
On vehicle you have a power transformer for it only holds power
But battery goes to a side terminal its only there to keep memmory
Last but not least simple pedal brake switch these get stuck
Glove box lights trunk lights and door switches these get stuck
When i get out of my s10 my door switch always stayed stuck open it drained my battery replace where needed

Possible, but more likely it's one of the cv joints. It may produce the same sound behavior in tight right or left turns on dry pavement. Wheel bearings may also be a problem.
