My 2008 Ram Hemi 5.7 keeps giving me P0340 and P0344 codes. Ive replaced the Cam Position Sensor but its still throws the code. Any ideas would be helpful. Its also going into linp mode randomly.

If I had to guess, I'd say between the two codes, it is possible you have a wire grounding out on the cam position sensor. The feedback from GTyankee is a good starting point.
