Help! My 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 liter V8's gauges will not move and my truck will not start until I reset my computer. While driving it can just suddenly die as if it has ran out of gas and then not restart until I reset the computer. I have changed out the crankshaft position sensor and the ignition switch and it continues to do the same thing. All fuses and relays are good and working. Truck has new K&N CAI, Big Gulp throttle body, throttle position sensor and idle air control valve. What should I check next? Thanks in advance for your help.

My guess is an electrical or PCM issue. I would inspect the wires and 3 plugs going into the PCM on the passenger's side firewall for dirt, looseness or cracks. Maybe check all your ground wires as well.
