I replaced the ignition coil and the crank sensor. still no spark at the plugs. the motor turns over, checked under the distributer cap. looks ok.
Crank-no-start can also be caused by the Cam sensor or the theft deterrent system (the Theft light will be lit while cranking).
No signal from ecm (computer)
Is it getting any fuel? Have you checked the injectors for power and ground. If no power to injectors as well, Take a look at the ASD relay. It may be bad. Also check ASD relay for a power with the key on and a constant power all the time at the relay plug
For my dodge daytona it was the ecm.( brain)

That is definately the most improper way to go about the diagnostic process i realize that it costs money to take it to a shop but you have already spent more than it may have cost to properly fix it. Your vehicle is so new even if you change evrything you may not make it start it does not have to ne a "failed" component"
You are are going to have to take the truck to an OBDII shop and have it diagnosed you have no chance of "hitting" it There are security system issues possible and you cannot go on another persons experiences same truck, same engine, same color everything same symptoms and it can be an entirely different problem. Stop now and take it to Dodge and be done with it Believe me unless you own an OBDII scan tool and have many years of diagnostic experiience you are likely not going to fix this one ,sorry anyway what are your symptoms? Exactly every detail

I had a similiar problem, found the solution there. It was the wiring harnes on the drivers side under the hood, just above the wheel well. there are a cluster of wires in a bundle. I unpacked the bundle carefuly and sure enough the were two or three wires all coroded, had wite powder from corosion. repaired the connections and bingo. I posted details at dodgeforums.com. browse around there. I posted pictures as well. this is a common problem.

There is a sensor that located on the right side of trans. that goes into bellhousing up close to the engine, it runs off the flywheel i think its the crank sensor but i'am not sure, i had a simmler problem with one i was working on, replaced that and it ran.
SOURCE: not turning over
it may be out of gas. all chrysler products especially the trucks/jeeps had problems with running out of gas when the guage would say between 1/8 tank to 3/8 tank. heres how to check. open hood remove cap on fuel rail pressure check port [it looks like a tire valve cap] crank engine briefly then push the pintle in the pressure check valve[it is the same setup as a tire valve stem] if air comes out or a little fine sray and air its out of gas. if no air or gas comes out then the fuel pump isnt working. if its just out of gas you can buy a new fuel level sending unit to fix the guage.

Rotten corroded wires 1 ft back from fuse box toward pcm.A single red wire splits into 3 wires for relays. This is a common problem.
