Unhappy Eulogy (got any ideas?)

POS @$&*! Dodges these days. I HATE them but not as bad as Fords and GMs.
Well, sad to say my truck has probs. Is it me? Mabey. But here is how it all goes.

When I first bought the truck I LOVED it Worked fine! for a while. @ about 30K the thing wigged out! Sometimes noral but other times I cuold tell "IT" was going to happen. What "IT" was? Dunno, but what it did......
When I started the truck, right off I knew "IT" would happen cause the truck sounded difernt, it ran different (more power, but that was OK) and the EB worked like a dream. But on with the "IT" under heavy acceleration (like i stole it) suddenly STALL, eng sounds like a tractor, face meet windshield. Well I took it in and they did they G30 recall. was throing P2262 and another (something about torque or performance, dont remember) Well the recall didnt help just robbed me of that long lost power it had when it was new. so.. brought it to another dealer (and this time a 5 star if that means anything anymore) showed them the problem and had a new turbo before monday! THEN.... 2 about mabey 45K the elec 4x4 freeked out. When I switch the knob all the power (elec) fluctuates to everything....radio, gauges, A/C, ECM!, radar detector, power outlets...EVERYTHING! Yeh it chucks codes...P2509-ECM power intermittent and anonther one about -lost comunication with TCM. So back to the dealer.OUCH they replaced the T-case acuator and checked all the wiring (3 times) and updated ECM (there went 20 MPG that I was getting IF i was faithful)for $500 and didnt fix the problem (and its still not fixed) And btw that doesnot happen all the time only sometimes, other times it works fine.
And Then... just drivin on the freeway 75+ MPH pulling and empty trailer (2.5K lbs) Power drops (engine) and exhaust filter full message shows up first at 80% and before 1/2 amile it was up to 100%! so i pull over. Before i get the truck stopped it is back down to 70%! then regen complete! So away we go! Happens every now and again.

BUT NOW....56K and wont drive worth @$%#&*! smokes like a freight train! cant even go over about 10 MPH, drinks the fuel, shifts crappy..... Codes: P 242F, P1451, P0471 (Exhaust Pressure Sensor Range/Performance?), P0106 (Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance?), P0489 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit Low?), and P2299 (Brake Pedal Position / Accelerator Pedal Position Incompatible?) No I dont drive with 2 feet and yes the lightning/throttle light do come on. Dealer says P242F is new DPF and P 1451 goes along with it.

Does this all add up? This last problem started before I took it in for the 4X4 so thats why they updated the ECM then. I wish I could love this truck but its real hard right now-it left me stranded in -25F with anti gell so dont now if thats the problem. so any help,advice whatever let me now

P.S. its an '08 6.7 4X auto
