Does it run at all? Could be a lean misfire causing that popping sound, try this, turn the key off, and spin the engine over with a socket on the crankshaft and a ratchet, does it feel normal all the way around, or does it have a tight spot in it that really is harder to spin through than the rest of the range of motion there. if it's got a real tight spot, could be internal engine damage. Also, did it shut off while driving? or just wouldn't start after sitting? Thank you.

I doubt it, you have any starting fluid? if so, spray some in the air intake in the air box, and see if it runs for a couple seconds then.

It's got gas and fuel pressure correct? You have spark to the plugs right? Next is to check for voltage at the GREEN/ORANGE wire at one of the front [fuel injectors](/topics-fuel-injector-dodge/), should have power with key on.
Do you hear the fuel pump buzz when you turn the key ON? should buzz for a couple of seconds, sometimes easiest with somebody in the truck and you put your ear to the gas filler neck with the gas cap off to hear if the fuel pump buzz when the key turns on.

Try spinning the engine over by hand a full 720 degrees to make sure nothing is locked up. Then if that checks out, I would check codes next, if it's not setting any codes, I would pull the plugs and start checking compression if it won't even hit with starting fluid, could be timing chain or compression issue. If it's got spark and compression should at least hit with starting fluid. Let us know what you find there,
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
