At wits end!!!!!!
I have a 2004 Ram 1500 with a 4.7. I keep getting a dtc p0340. I have checked the wiring, all is good. Replaced the cam and crank sensors. I have replaced the ECM that was programed to my Vin number. Still getting the p0340 code. What I am missing
Hmm. So you have 2 different ecms grumbling about cam sensor signal. And that's 2 different cam sensors.
Just some ideas. Maybe check resistance in cam sensor wires from sensor to ecm? With battery disconnected of course.
Possible internal engine fault.? I'm not familiar with 4.7 front timing area. How does the sensor get a signal. Is there a tone ring on the camshaft? Is engine running so poorly that the cam is out of time indicating a main timing issue?

I liberally apply dielectric grease on all my connections, including the pins and plastic plugs. The grease doesn't prevent metal contact as it's light enough to be forced out of the way on any type of pressure connection. It repels moisture, keeps the contacts clean and easy to pull. It's also good for rubber (it's silicone). I can't thing of any car related connection where using it would be an issue. It actually reduces connection issues by preventing any sort of building or corrosion on the surfaces.
