the alternator has nothing to do with cranking. if it died after a minute of running and the dash went crazy i would bet money on an electrical issue. dash problems themselves are normally in the 06's but the truck still runs fine because the dash is just receiving signals, not computing them so to speak. someone correct me if im wrong.

do you have a way to log RP while cranking?

after you get known GOOD batteries in there, unplug the FCA and try again

The tank is full so you are right it should start even without the fuel pump, didn’t think of that... Thanks.

Yes I do have a RP gauge I didn’t think about that either. I will report back on that reading.
