I recently bought a 96 dodge ram 2500 4x4 8L V10 that had been sitting for 2 years. I replaced the fuel pump and put a new battery in it and I still cannot get it to start. If I use starting fluid I can get it to fire but stall out as soon as the starting fluid is burned off. Any suggestions on what to do next would be awesome

You need to check pressure in the fuel rail on the engine. I don't know the specifications, but it probably should have 40 to 50 psi with just the key on (engine not running) if the fuel pump and pressure regulator are working properly. If you don't have fuel pressure at the rail, the injectors cannot deliver fuel to the cylinders.

SOURCE: 96 Astro Fuel Pump Question?? no start/Flooding

With the upper plenum removed and spark disabled turn on the key and allow the fuel pump to prime while watching the fuel lines from the back of the intake to the injector. I suspect you lines are leaking. Have seen this before. ALOT.

The check valve on the fuel line at the filter housing may be leaking back not maintaining pressure when the engine is not running.

You might be experiencing a problem with your Vats security system. GM installed these anti theft systems on almost all of its cars in the 90's. (that little black chip in your key) They are known for turning off starters and injectors. Check out this link for symptoms, explanation of how it works, and solutions to the problem that you can do yourself. Hope this helps. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

I havw a 1997 dodge 3500 v10 turned it off now it won't start put a new ful pump but still wont start

Before you replaced the fuel pump did you test battery power an ground at the fuel pump ,did you hook up a fuel pressure gauge ! Does the vehicle have spark ? Check the ASD relay , this powers the fuel injectors an the coils ! No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy

Why won't my 98 tahoe start after it was sitting for a year? i bought a new battery so that is not it.

Did you put stablizer in the gas before storing it? Does the fuel pump run for 2 seconds when the ign is turned ? Have you checked the air cleaner for debris? Do you have spark? You must have air/fuel/spark to start.

I need to change the in tank fule pump in my truck its a dodge ram 3500 v10 how do you do it ryan

The tank has 2 straps that hold the tank to the frame(make sure tank is some what empty, the emptier the lighter) then just disconnect the fuel lines and wires then you can to the pain in the **** ring (some times the ring is loose enough to turn with a hammer and chisel) the book says make a "special tool" but you can be creative. then remove the fuel pump canister and follow the directions depending on if you bought the whole Mopar replacement canister or just a replacement fuel pump.
Hope this helps
