I have an 04 Dodge Ram... well the other day it went completely dead. I re-started it and it started up and was driveable but not safe to. However, it was jerking really bad and a loud noise was coming from the engine, the whole engine was shaking.
Well a tow truck driver came and got it. They took it to the Dealership. Well the first lady told me they would need new spark wires, or some kind of wires.
A guy the other day told me the camshaft was welded to the cam journals and might need a new engine, and to get my oil change receipts. There was no white smoke, and I heard no valves clapping.
If it was the camshaft welded to the journals.. why would it start right up fine?

You are right. If the cam shaft was welded, it wouldn't start.

Get your oil change receipts and get ready for a fight. I had a Chrysler [mo-par product] Le Baron GTS that went through three turbo chargers. The last one was denied because I couldn't find all my receipts.
No if the camshaft was welded to the journals I would think it would never have started again.
Good luck.
