Starting issues

[Hamboned1]

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 hemi and just installed a new engine in her and put a new starter on and starter engages for a few seconds and tries to start but then dies out, then nothing but will wait a few minutes and it will do same, I checked and cleaned all grounds on block, heads, frame, body and added 1 ground on driver's side from head to body, what else could I check or do to for this issue!

 

[seems fishy]

Sorry that is for sure,frustrating.I know you did alot of work there,however the first obvious questions are more detail about battery,and just to clarify this is a brand new engine,and starter,not rebuilt,or used?

That sounds like the security part of the ignition is engaging and not allowing the truck to start.

I don't know what the process is to fix but that is where I would start based on the info you provided

Load test the battery

When it cranks, does it crank fast or is it lethargic. A good charge might help, or a jump start.

Have you tried a shot of starting fluid , is it getting spark , any codes ?
