DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLES AND CONNECT THEM AGAIN TO RESET EVREY THING

Either its a bad new battery or tour altenator isn't charging it. Jumpstart it.

If you have a security system, disarm it.

insert key turn to on position alarm should silence
once bat conected start truck

use a 1/16 drill bit to drill thru indicator to break bulb. light will not come on when started again

I drove the truck to my parent, then i try to start the truck and it won"t start/ Then said its the battery, but then i said let check the alternator. So I put my dads new battery from his jeep to my truck, then the truck started , I pulled out the battery cable then the truck stop. If the alternator was good the truck would still be on right!! Then I take the alternator to pepboy and say it pass the test , that it was good by the test machine, and to check the battery and the fuse that is for the alternator, I try to check it the fuse with a meter and seen okay but couldn't fin the one for the alternator on the truck. I hardly the drive the truck has 32000 mile the truck is a 2005 dodge ram 1500. I think is the alternator cause its making a wierd noise when accellerating. Just burn out and can't think straight.

still sounds like the timing belt/chain to me,especially since it just shut off goin down the road, had a 93 that did the same thing,dodge has a kind of safety switch that if the timing belt breaks the engine will shut down to keep you from tearing anything else up.

this problem is not unusual ,without seeing the car as i have no product knowledge with american built cars as such,but if it has one coil and not a coil pack then its the ignition module ,these often go just as you describe .Stop car to pop in shop and then no go,this is not the dealers fault they just pack up ,ask dealer nicely and no doubt they will send someone around to put a new one in for you .
