New here and looking for some insite possibly someone has run into this same situation. My 18 r/t with the 5.7 is having a no crank no start out of the blue. I went to the store yesterday and lt started up fine let it run while inside and went home and parked it. 30 min later I went to leave again and it won't even crank. I push the button and it goes to accessory then push it again it goes to run but no crank or click or anything. Remote start won't work ethier and I tested the battery and it's saying it's good. Any ideas? Possibly starter? 64k miles seems low for bad starter to me.
No crank and no start

How old is the battery because if it's older then 3 years do not trust it regardless of what you dvom stays.it becomes highly suspect regardless of measuring voltage across the terminals.
Any check engine lights?
A good battery is essential, have you put jumper cables on it to see if it will crank?
If battery is good, then check codes for cam or crank sensors.
If you think it’s the starter, a lite tap with a hammer sometimes works to disengage the armatures but that is a not a true test, just a possible quick fix.

I am going to check for codes tomorrow once I get my scan tool from work.i am going to check into a new battery aswell since this ones original and I did try to tap the starter a couple times with no change. What's weird is a few weeks ago the FCW and service stability control lights came on randomly aswell. 🤔
The false random electronic issues are evidence of a bad battery. Just replace it.
Little update..I replaced the battery and no change at all. I managed to pull codes from it and found a bunch of implausible data codes for multiple systems and BCM codes. I will be calling the dealer in the morning and hopefully my extended warranty I bought covers it.🤞 I will post back if anything changes
Update: dealer called me today and said they found that the ABS module had internally failed and cause all these issues and part is a week away. Extended warranty was a joke and said Pound rocks...$850 all said and done.

D95:
Your update is appreciated. Glad that you got a resolution, and hope that it's really fixed.
What company was the extended warranty through?
Dealers push the 3rd party junk because they make more up front, and when the warranty rubes deny the claim, you get to pay the time/material rate, and not the rate that Dodge would pay them which is less.
A proverbial win-win for them.
You may be able to cancel said warranty and get a refund. Sounds like something to look into.

It was a 3rd party warranty (smart autocare) since i bought the car used. I bought with only 30k on it and Figured I would rather be safe then sorry lol and it ended up being pointless. I will be making a trip to the used dealer I bought it from and canceling this warranty maybe they'll give a refund? Hopefully

Update: picked up the durango last night all is good so far. Apparently the abs module is a known problem on the rams but not so much the DD. Tech did say there was signs of water intrusion in the connector and that the seal was not installed properly. 🤔 I'm just glad to have it back I've missed it lol
