I have a 2016 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 big horn. That ran hot. I fixed the problem. Head gaskets are fine. No indication the block is cracked or damage. Replaced the battery etc. But still won't start. Has power , turns on. But doesn't so anything else. Someone told me I can reset the system. How do I do that

See if you can turn the engine over by hand with a ratchet how hot did you get it?if you maxed out the temp gauge or something that thing is cooked . You can also check the little wire on the starter that slides on common bad connection point
