this is the second time she's done this, but when i go to strat my truck, she just keeps cranking and not running. i've checked oil, coolant, gas, battery is good, bu i'm still pretty new to this and so if there's anything lse i could check please help me out!!!!

the last time this happened was right after my SAS/lift and she was sitting for a month, so that wasnt a big surprise. she's always been a little hesetant to start in the rain, but never this bad

Try tapping on the starter, are you sure the starter is good? Check all the connections going to and from the batt, starter, alt. Fuses good?

Sounds like it wants to start, but no go. When did you last change fuel filter? Im sure there is enough gas too, what about idle??

the thing is that the guy who sold it to me was a dumbass and didnt have any of the maintanence records, so everything i'm doing to the truck is all i have to base my knowledge off of. for example, i replaced a clutch with about 15k on it, thinkin it would be shot. i have not replace the injectors, spark plugs, anything like that yet
