Possibly the cam sensor/pick-up coil in the distributor, or the crankshaft position sensor on the back of the engine.

Check the cat con for melt down... It along with the bellypan gasket on the bottom of the intake results in many problems for Ram trucks.
I have read a bad cat con will rattle like it has marbles in it when tapped.

Yep, that's exactly how it'll sound. Not all that fail will do that, though...
I had one replaced once - the guy cut the pipe on one side, started on the other and the converter tilted downwards - and the pieces of the ceramic element showered down on him (fortunately, he laughed about it).
