Steve:
Have you had in serviced since you bought it? Do you have records from the
previous owner?
There are routine replacement parts such as batteries, fuel filters etc.
which can lead to a
no start condition if neglected. In my opinion the problem is not likely
the truck, yours is
hardly broken in at 44,000 mile ( :) it's a Dodge), it's more likely a
lack of routine servicing
by the previous owner or yourself.
