PLEASE HELP!! 2014 6.7 sat for nearly 1 year, no start!
Purchased this truck new in late 2014 ! Ram 3500 6.7 put 170k miles in 2 years and took a job offer in Hawaii, while the truck sat.
So, the truck now has 2 brand new batteries, new fuel filter abd water seperator. Fuel pump in tank replaced and cleaned gunk in tank as well because we are getting low fuel pressure 115psi. Cranks very well.
EGR delete kit and exhaust is the only upgrades
Anyone experienced this before? What is the next step? Mechanic suggests to take the fuel pump (engine side) to get tested. Not sure I am ready to spend money on a goose chase. Thank you all in advance!

Special tools are required to check fuel injector return flow and PLV for leakage. I would purchased injector cap off tool and cap off injectors one by one until you locate injector causing the no start. Any codes setting?

Issue fixed
First we changed the fuel pump it looked really bad but still no start. Took the injection pump to get it tested ($220) and it was bad, not building pressure. Got a new one and truck is again a beast!! $1675 parts and labor.

You probably did all this but , I would check the air intake to make sure some critters didn't homestead the filter. Also, if you changed filters etc... it takes 5 or more on/ off ignition cycles to prime the fuel. I would open the drain on the front filter and cycle the ignition without cranking it to flush any old diesel out of the lines.
