Would be interested in what you found out.
Not an Expert, but at first glance I would say leaking fuel injector, which would cause the WET spark plug AND a problem with an O2 sensor because it's getting washed in raw fuel. Dumping raw gas into the exhaust system can also eventually damaged the catalytic converter. It will also cause rough idle and running. Has your mpg gone up?

Default Need some help

I have a 2005 dodge ram 2500 5.9 Cummins 6 speed manual 4x4. I recently ran into an issue where I turn my key and none of the gages needles move. They all stay at zero or low etc. When I clutch and turn the key to start the truck tries to start but doesn't turn over and run. Just keeps trying to start. I checked all my fuses and relays in the fuse box and they are good. I did the odometer c code trick thing and received 5 c-codes. A4, A5, AA, AC, and AD. I'm thinking something is shorted out? I have no idea what to do. Any help is appreciated.

There is a section of the forums for Ram trucks - yours in particular should go on the 3rd gen board but there’s a few other boards that might work too.

Perhaps a moderated will move this post for you, but here’s a link to the 3rd gen board - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-ram-tech-65/

That said, if the engine is cranking slowly or not at all, it’s most likely the batteries need to be replaced or they’re not recharging due to an alternator issue; the cable connections are dirty or the cables need to be replaced; or the starter is going bad.

I have a 1994 Dodge B350 Van with 5.9L. When I do the key dance I get a code 3955. I can't find this mentioned anywhere on the net. Any ideas?

Default Gen-Guy seems to be on the right track!

I'd have to agree with GenGuy. Leaky injector sounds like exactly what's causing your O2 sensor failures. If that doesn't fix the problem, I would check MAF after that see if that fixes your misfire issue...

Understanding correctly, both upstream O2 sensors on both sides before the catalytic converter were having issues. Was an exhaust manifold leak ever checked? I had that exact problem on a coupe I used to own. I spent almost three weeks, working with the experienced mechanic on the issue. After replacing the exhaust manifold, no more leaks, no more check engine light.
