Re: My dodge 1500 got a bit wet a year ago ive had it on...
Check the crankshaft position sensor down on the transmission on the passenger side up top in the bell housing.
If the crankshaft position sensor is bad it will not start no spark.

I got this free Pdf manual from reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of the 20 times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years
May be a wheel speed sensor on one of the wheels (that's how ABS tells what wheel is in a skid). Also may be a faulty ABS pump. Standard ODBII scanners will not tell you the issue. You have to have a code reader that specifies ABS codes. A bit pricey as an initial investment, but if you plan to keep the truck for while, it's cheaper than taking it to a shop to have the codes read every time there's an issue.
Did you change the spark plugs also ? Could have a head gasket leak between 5 an 7 ! Could have bad fuel injectors , clogged ! What about the speed sensor , you have a DTC stored in memory ,have check engine light on ? Need you to explain this a little better , misfire along with the speed sensor ! What about speed sensor ? You could have a vacuum leak affecting those two cylinders !
Not many ways to tell without taking the engine apart. There should be signs of new gaskets and shiny clean metal. A brand new engine is not really possible since Dodge probably stopped making them a few years ago. Most times you get a rebuilt engine from Dodge or any number of rebuilders from around the country. As long as you got a warranty that covers 2 or 3 years and several thousand miles, you are as safe as you can be. The warranty from most major companies and the dealer would be good across the country, not just the shop that did the install.
