confusion - 343 is an AMC engine that was limited use in some jeeps... SO it is now in your dodge....correct.
did you install this?
It has worked in the past?

this is a ram D150?

the wiring dia tells me .....see if correct

starter relay
yellow wire should be hot when you turn to start?
Brn/yellow is a ground in P/N?
brn is trigger to starter should be hot when starting?
