I need help with my truck. I went out to start my truck after it has sat for 6mo. The truck is trying to turn over, but it will not continue to run. We have checked the battery, fuel, oil and some of but not all of the filters. We need to find out what we are missing. Please help!

Hello, did you check fuel pressure with a gage? Have you tried starter fluid in the intake? There are safety issues using a flammable spray, that is your responsibility. I usually take the air-duct loose from the throttle body, open the throttle valve, spray a little, see if the vehicle will run off the spray. If it does, I suspect a fuel issue.

I don't remember the year, I seen ram pickup with digital odometer and the codes would cycle up on the odometer. I think it was a 2K model, don't know if that would work on 99.
