2000 Dodge Ram won't start

2000 Dodge Ram Cummins 2500, 4 WD, Automatic. Turns over but won't start. Relays & Fuses okay. Shifting linkage okay. Replaced neutral safety switch. Fuel is delivered to the injectors. The only obvious issue is that the steering wheel does not lock when the key is removed. How is this fixed or is there something else causing the problem??

May not have enough fuel pressure coming from injection pump to pop injectors. Check transfer pump pressure( should be no less than 8 psi. Did you hhave a check engine light on before it quit? May have a bad injection pump. Do you get smoke from the tailpipe while crannking? May need to have it towed to dealer so he scan the computer system?
Sounds to me like the injection pump may be the culprit. If so, grap hold of your wallet. The pump alone is around 1200 plus labor.

    transfer pum and injectio pump are different. it takes at least 750 psi of fuel pressure to open the injectors, this pressure is produced by the injection pump

99 Dodge ram 2500 with cummins diesel stalled and won't restart. Changed fuel filter, and determined that there is fuel going to injector pump.

loosen one fuel line to one of the injectors, try to start the truck and look for the fuel to spray out of the line. it should spray rather hard if the injector pump is working right. if it just dribbles or trickles out you have a weak pump.
