Default 2000 ram 5.9cummins cutting out and dieing

Hi all haveing issues with motor cutting out and ultimately dieing acts like its grounding out soome were first time it did it I was idleing through a parking lot it started cutting out I thought ignition switch was sticking or not making good connection so I messed with it a little and it seemed to go away that was a month ago now its starting again and now its not only cutting out its dieing also ive check for bad connections and or shorts would really like to know what you guys might think

Cam or crank sensor would be my first guess.

Also check the wire harness near the shock tower. On the encore motors, there was a problem with harness rubbing on the shock tower. Next would be the crankshaft sensor.
