Gents,
My '04 Hemi Ram died twice yesterday driving through parking lots at about 5 mph. What could cause it to stall out at a low speed like that? In the past year it has had all the O2 sensor's replaced, egr valve, coil packs replaced, spark plugs replaced and fuel pump replaced. It has around 250K miles on it. Showing No Codes.
Thanks in advance !!

Does it have an IAC like Fords do? I’ve replaced that part on probably 8 fords in the family. One was even at the dealer and they couldn’t figure out the dirt common problem because they don’t throw a code when the part fails. They just die. I don’t know of mopar uses one or not.
I want my fair share

Thanks, great suggestion! From what I could find online, it doesn't look like Dodge uses one. I've sprayed some throttle body cleaner in the throttle body back when I replaced the ignition parts, but I guess after 250K miles, maybe it needs replacing. Not sure how long they last.

Did you check the battery? Had that happen to me years ago. BTW, I have a good used 06 5.7 ram throttle if you want to try it.

How about starting with puling the codes, if any. Forgot to put no codes showing.

Those cold solder joints are “The Devil’s Plaything” and are mostly due to government mandated lead free solder. The first generation Neons were famous (infamous?) for cold solder joints on the instrument cluster. I had a '97 and a '98 and they both had the problem.

Crank sensor bad. Replace cam sensor while you're at it. Thanks, I've owned this truck since new and don't think I've ever replaced those.

Don't know if you mentioned that when it stalls does that mean you have to restart the truck or it hesitates and keeps running? It dies completely. But, restarts fine.
