MY time has come!
Ummm... Hex your a 4WD there is nothing but toe adjustment to do on the 4WD. As for the steering box there is a sector adjustment to take up slack the instruction are in the Factory Service Manual. But I would look and see why your getting excessive wear all of a sudden too. Is the the fluid dark and broke down? If so time to flush the power steering system then adjust everything up. Steering stabilizer is easy to do yourself. I highly suggest doing as much as you can yourself and letting "another shop" do the alignment.

Fuel Prices
I understand this a frustrating topic involving environmental conditions and big companies, and pipelines. I'm not even going to admit I know anything about this subject. But I would like to ask Wild & Free what is the deal on diesel prices being so high right now? Then vs. gasoline prices crashing low? Sad but truth... pipelines, crude oil and petroleum products will continue to be used in the world. I think its healthy to disagree with each other and debate over this topic a bit but remember we are all family here... So time to wear the shirt. Thanks Wild & Free that is a priceless photo!

AEM Dry Flow BHAF Thoughts? pros. cons.
Well... Personally I'm not impressed with washable filters at all. Most all washable filters out of the box are good right out of the box. Now how many washes can you wash the media before it breaks down to a dangerous point for the engine? 1, 2, 5, 10, 20... ??? None of the manufactures specify when you should toss it out. Now with the Paper BHAF I typically see 100,000 miles of service per filter and never have to wash it. This can be proved by the cleanliness of the turbo during the service period of the filter you chose. Another trick is to spray the intake tube with WD40 and inspect often and see if any dust is collected if so then the filter has failed.

Battery Drain
You still measuring total draw. Now move into the other circuits and measure. Pull a fuse and probe both fuse contacts in the same socket.

Ram 1500 diesel
Good reason why I'm still hanging on to both of my truck now because the new trucks are like a house payment now.

Cracked dash
That seem like a lot of work chasing cracks as the form. Pull the entire dash is quite the project so you can access these area. Bad enough doing a HVAC case.

weird leak
Think a bit differently when was the last time you changed the power steering fluid and flushed the system?

Poor Performance on a 24 valve.
The only reason it common is because people baby the truck too much and never actually open the wastegate. So the wastegate rust into position. Where I live in the rust belt I never had a issue being I keep the engine bay washed out and tend to tickle the wastegate now and then as I watch the boost gauge hit 35 PSI and bounce then settle back at 35-36 PSI.

3rd gen front breaks on 2nd gen
It allows you to gain just a bit more braking force because of the larger diameter rotors that are used. But this mod requires the change of wheels and tires as well to 17". I tend to look at if from another angle of the increased mass of axle parts you just losing MPG's over it. But that's me. The Effects of Rotational Inertia on Automotive Acceleration

Rear slide window
Years ago I made a steel horseshoe clip for my 1972 Dodge Powerwagon. The previous owner had broke the plastic clip off the back slider glass. I've even gone a step farther for security was using a few length of steel rod to thread all in the tracks to keep the windows closed. But being that was a standard cab it was easy to open back up. Now with my 96 with the slider you have to crawl in the back seat to open it. It's a extended cab not a quad cab.

Battery Drain
You need to have power to measure draw. So the red lead must stay from the battery. Now you could pull each lead and measure from the RED cable stud to the lead to measure draw of each wire. With power still hooked up you can pull one fuse at a time and measure across the fuse terminals of the panel and see the draw level of each circuit. When you find the heavy draw circuit tell me the fuse and I'll pull up the wiring diagram for it. Right now you need to work your way down the power distribution system and find out which circuit is the heavy draw.

One last thing to do! (flatbed) BRAKE CONTROLLER
I've got a P2 controller and the plug is blue in color and the Dodge dealer should have the pig tail for you. My truck was supplied with the pigtail at the time of purchase being I specified the I planned on towing trailers.

Fuel Prices
One of the reasons I'm such a economy freak. Everything I do is long distance. I can drive 100 miles easy in one day just going to the hardware store or grocery store. If I'm going big city shopping like WalMart its a good 120-180 miles one way excluding all the running around. So in a lot of ways I'm glad I've got 2 vehicles on two different fuel types. It's going to be a good time to fill up my gasoline barrel here too I'm running low.

Battery Drain
All the big fuses are encased in plastic so there is no way to probe them. But still in all you are measuring amp draw so you have to break the circuit to measure amp draw.
