Go to a shop and have the diagnostic codes read out from the computer memory. If you post them here, you’ll get some likely ideas . If under warranty of course, go to a dealership.

Isn’t this 2 year old truck still covered by Chrysler’s 100k mile Powertrain Warranty?  
If so, I think that you would be foolish to go anywhere except a Chrysler/Dodge/Ram dealership.
