99 dodge ram sputters and quits

One day my truck just randomly wouldnt start. When we finally did get it to start it quit going down the road several times... Plug wires and spark plugs were replaced.. Now when you're driving down the road it sputters and sometimes quits. Throttle position sensor has also been replaced and we knocked the junk out of the catalytic converter.

Check your EGR valve.Sounds like that would be the problem as the symptoms would suggest it is sticking.

SOURCE: 97 dodge ram no spark

then i would replace whats called the hall effect sensor its that black plastic plate you see when you take dist cap off. just pull rotor and lift up the sensor.dist cap is what holds it on.also under the sensor will be a stamped sheet metal piece that looks like the top of a castle wall. make sure its not loose on the shaft.if it is then new dist will be needed

1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel battery gauge has been low for a couple days, tried to start it this morning and it was dead. I jump started it aand it ran for a few minutes after unhooking jumper cables,...

yes to a point. Obviously as you know if your alternator is dead your battery will drain and the car will die. But also, if the battery has quit so bad and maintains a voltage of no more than 8-1/2 volts or so the car will still die because there isn't enough voltage to maintain the computer and it will shut down.

2003 Dodge ram won't start please help!

Sounds like a bad connection in the wiring, like the battery cables.
Or a ground connection problem.
Have you checked the battery cables and the connections ?
