2016 Ram Power Wagon, all stock, around 168,000 miles on her. So, about a month ago, I started to get a rough idle in my truck. Then I got a low battery voltage message. I scanned the truck for codes and got a p0207 open circuit. The exhaust also had a rich smell to it, and I would see a small bit of smoke on startup sometimes, not all the time. About a week later I took it to AutoZone to test the battery and alternator and they said it all checked out good. About a week later, the truck died in the middle of the road. PRNDL were now yellow also and a check electronic throttle control system symbol/message. I cleaned the throttle body; however, it wasn’t very dirty. Still no luck. The truck would start but die after a second or 2. Took it to the dealership and was told I needed a new PCM. New PCM was installed, and the truck was good. So, I thought. About a week later I got the low battery voltage again. Dealership said I needed a new alternator. I installed a new alternator and roughly 2 days later I got the low battery voltage message again. Now, today, 17 Feb 2023, as I pulled into my work parking lot, PRNDL are yellow again and truck dies after 1 to 2 seconds again. I’m completely stumped here. Not sure if I have a short somewhere, bad ground or what. Any help would be great.
