Cranked the 2014 Ram 1500 ecodiesel truck in my driveway.  
Ran for 4-5 seconds and shut down. Will not restart without starting fluid. Any help will be appreciated.

Are you sure there is fuel in the tank ?  
Seen many people spend hundreds of dollars on replacing parts, when all they needed was some fuel.
