95 dodge ram pick up. 2500. 5.9 cummins.

cranks, wont start.

while searching this forum, i have found several things to check, which i will do, but i found a reference to the starter contacts.

can a bad starter cause the engine to crank fine, but not start ?
i know bad starters can burn out the shutdown solenoid or relay .
checked the solenoid, it is up.

would not start due to dead batteries 2 weeks ago, replaced them.

just trying to figure out what to check first.

thanks

if your engine cranks its not the starter....... if it didn't crant but just clicked once then it'd be a starter
