My truck won't go out first gear

1996 Dodge ram 1500 NO ENGINE TOLD OF 5.GAS ENGINES
3.9 TO 8.0LITERS. AND A DIESEL NOT YOURS.
POST YOUR VIN AND WE KNOW WHAT ENGINE IS THERE. X5

SO IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?, YOU DID NOT SAY DRIVE IS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR.?
PRNDL
DOES REVERSE AND LO(L) WORK?
CHECK FUSES?
SCAN IT YET?
CHANGE SPARK PLUGS 1 AT A TIME?
IF YOU MESSED UP SPARK THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE SUPER HARD AND HORRIBLE POWER AND NOT GO FAST ENOUGH TO GET TO 2ND GEAR.
IF ENGINE (NONE TOLD ) HAS COIL PACK WITH 2 OR MORE SPARK WIRES, THOSE MUST NEVER BE MIXED UP.

3.9 LITER
SPARK
The front coil pack fires six cylinders and the rearward coil pack fires four cylinders.
NEVER MIX THESE UP
5/10, 9/8, 1/6, 7/4 and 3/2.
END 3.9L EXAMPLE.


ONLY CHANGE SPARK PLUG 1 AT A TIME.
ONLY CHANGE COIL PACK HV SPARK WIRES, 1 AT A TIME
OR FAIL YOU WILL. (OR BUY NGK COIL PACKS THAT ARE MARKED CORRECTLY )1e5a17e7-8de3-4f88-ab32-e4faa85901d5.jpg

4x4 v8 1998 dodge truck won't start

well if ur not getting spark and u changed all of the ignition components lets think about the computer in order for the ignition to work you have crankshaft position sensor that fires the fuel injectors and the spark change that and if still nothing then change the camshaft postion sensor that sensor tells the computer that the 1 piston has came all the way up and it tells the crankshaft sensor to do its thing
