Looks like it needs adaptation/relearning.

SOURCE: intermittently car will not start, no starter

This sounds like a problem with the starter motor solenoid.

It could be worn out, binding, or any host of other problems. Remove it, and have a local parts store test it for you, then visually check the solenoid (the store should be able to check it for free).

Testimonial: "Problem is if person who has car is several hundred miles away and does not have means to remove starter. I do not believe auto parts will remove it."

SOURCE: ok so my check engine

I think all is well, since the alternator has been replaced. Nothing is wrong with the car.

Car runs fine but at times it will die and have to boost to start

Sounds like alternator/generator could be bad and also battery could be bad.

Transmission or altenator?

I would say change the alternator out. Start with the simplest and cheapest factor first. Without the alternator keeping the engine running its hard to put it any gear.

My 2007 dodge charger didn't crank so I jumped it

A battery from 07 is still decently new to be that bad, but I would check the alternator first, just get the car running and unhook the positive cable from the battery, if the car dies the alternator is bad.

Cars lights are going bright and dim . changed out battery today and alt tested fine.car ran fine again until tonight then back to losing power

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like the regulator inside the alternator, re test altenator with the headlights off, then on, any lower reading from the altenator with the headlights on, could mean a bad regulator, in the altenator, all 1 unit altenator gets changed.

Anti theft related-car was jumped ran fine but won't restart after turning ignition-waited awhile it started but quickly died again and now won't start at all-tries to turn over but doesn't complete

What ever the matter was with it that it needed a jump start is probably the reason it started and died and now wont start. This doesnt sound like an anti-theft problem.
