Code 12 is just telling you the battery has been disconnected at some point. (Oh gee, there's a big surprise. )

On the passenger side of the engine, behind the cylinder head, is the crank sensor. Pain to get to, but, is frequently a victim of engine/trans work. Check and make sure no wires are pinched, and that it didn't get crunched during the install.

Check out the second gen ram section as well. LOTS of help to be had there.
