You have not run a OBD2 electronic engione control fault code test, get a code reader and do that first and don't replace anymore parts until that is done and you have the fault codes and have done the proper diagnostics for each code.

seat belt lockup on 1998 dodge ram how do i unlock them

Hi, two main things cause this to happen. Low fluid or clogged filter, and/or faulty one way valve in the fluid pump. I have had to replace fluid pumps in cummins transmissions before and usually the torque converter along with it. Also I've heard of people installing aftermarket one way valves in the fluid cooler lines to help remedy this problem in these trucks as well with some success. Talk to a local transmission shop in your town/city about this problem, I'm sure if they know what they're doing and are a reputable shop, they'll know your problem right away and can advise what repairs can be done in further detail. But remember, check the fluid level first(if you haven't already) and when the vehicle in running warm, fill accordingly until in operating range.

replace the crank shaft position sensor at the bell housing

Did it die again or stay running? if so and it still runs have the codes pulled at autozone for free they will tell you what it says.

Have the system scanned for fault codes, I think you may have a defective VSS (vehicle speed sensor), but don't replace it before you have the fault code test run, a defective computer and or wiring to the VSS can also cause the same problems.

These vehicles had a lot of problems with crank sensors. It may be a good idea to just change it as it is probably due, and likely your problem.
