P0237 = Turbocharger Boost Pressure Sensor Low
P0514 = Battery Temperature Sensor Performance
P0633 = SKIM Key Not Programmed in PCM
 
(BTW, those are zeroes in the codes, as opposed to the letter "O" in case you were trying to look them up on the web.)
 
I have had personal experience with P0514 on my 2005 3500... would not allow the truck to start for about 45 minutes after sitting overnight near 0°F. The Battery Temp Sensor is located under the driver's side battery and if it either gets unusually cold or malfunctions, it assumes the ambient air is too cold to safely use the batteries in max cranking amp (starting) situations.
 
P0237 likely caused your power loss. The engine went into failsafe mode to avoid
turbo damage.
 
P0633 usually means a malfunction with the Sentry Key.
 
Considering all of these together, I'd say your truck's computer may have burped and needs some attention.

This may sound dumb but you're 100% sure you put desiel fuel in the tank? (you'd be surprised how many times people put gas in the tank) may also have gotten a bad batch of fuel.

I had a 96 3500 Club Cab 4x4 dually with the 4-speed automatic and 3.54 axles. I had no trouble breaking 20 mpg on the highway the whole 9 years I owned it, and had a best tank of 24.3.
 
A few questions:
 
- Which transmission and axle do you have, and are you running stock-size tires?
 
- Do you keep a lot of excess weight in the cab and/or bed?
 
- At that mileage, the engine should have had 4 valve lash adjustments by now (24K, 72K, 120K, 168K)... have those been done?
 
- Have you ever replaced the throttle cable, either on your own or after the recall about 7-1/2 years ago?

i figured out why my 98 dodge cummins would not start at ignition switch the wire behind the fuse box on the 30amp jcas fuse in the ignition run slot on fuse box under the hood was broke at the wire connector on the no power side so it would not switch the power over to the starter relay easy fix but a pain to figure out so if any one has the same trouble try looking there first thanks to everyone who was trying to think of what my trucks problem was

I have a 2007 and I wish I would have waited on the 2008. I'm still having some issues with the Turbo. They have already installed one new one. Also my power steer pump went out and they were on ntl back order. The 2008 should have most of the bugs worked out.
