2008 dodge ram sxt. Died while driving. All lights and radio working. Key fob is fine. Starter and battery good. Have already disconnected battery. All wiring good to starter. Wont turn over. Sounds like battery dead but it is good. No codes. Any ideas.

Take a scanner and see if it'll read anything. Does the relay click for the starter?

It could be your TIPM.
If I remember correctly from helping my neighbor trouble shoot his(same year truck), there isn't a relay to jump out like the current gen truck. His starter went bad and took out the TIPM also. You'll have to check for power to crank at the starter.

Try jumping out the signal wire to see if it cranks. Double check all the fuses to.
If it is your TIPM, I believe you can swap it out yourself, but I think it needs to be "synconized" with the trucks computer (going off of memory, unfortunately my neighbor is not around to ask)

Changed the TIPM no luck. Not sure how to sync the computer.
