Any suggestions on what it might be??
Thanks,

Oh! Radiator blew up on me just as I parked at work. Not mad though-175K+ miles plus its made of plastic so you get what you get.
Still luv my truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems the filter section got clogged up and would work for awhile then would stop gas flow. If I waited a couple of hours it would restart and I could drive another 30 to 50 miles and it would stop again. Had to replace entire gas pump since filter is not a separate item from Dodge.
I am extremly happy to see that I am not alone in this problem. I can't be sure when it started but the problem has been escalating.
My Dodge Ram1500 is a 2004, 5.7 Hemi and has 51,300 miles. A few times I had a stalling issue, however it always started occasionally. Then at some point it got worse.
Right or wrong, many times in the winter I fill the truck running, as I am in a Full Service state I just don't turn it off, but it was not a problem till a month or two ago. As soon as the pump clicks full, the truck shuts off and then I have trouble keeping it running. My mechanic gets in and there are no codes, but he says he resets the throttle sensor and for the most part the truck is OK, however I still have issues.
Now I turn the truck off all the time, but it tends to stall shortly after fueling, today was the last straw and on I-95 while coming to a quicker than usual stop the truck stalled, right there. I needed to hit the throttle to get it going again, then the same happen again in Stop and Go traffic and again.
I believe the issue may be focused around breaking harder than normal. I'm unsure though due to the stalling after fueling. I generally need to hit the throttle to get it going.
When it stalls, I get absolutely no lights. I love this truck and I'm about to send out the last payment, but I am getting frustrated.
I have had two O2 sensors replaced since I got the truck, but, like I said, when it stalls no lights?
Could this be a TPS problem or one of the other issues? Thoughts? I want to sound intelligent when I call either my mechanic or the dealer.
Thanks,
CJ
He seems to think it is some sort of issue with the vapor like or a vapor sensor.
To the last post (#85) I can mention this to him as well.
My stalling issues have been most severe after fueling and generally I would only stall once or twice shortly after filling up.
Since working with my mechanic we are running an experiment where I only get $20 of fuel once I pass 1/2 tank.
I have yet to stall and I have completed this twice. He says we should do that 2 or 3 more times to be sure and then fill it, drive it, and check it.
Apparently it was an issue in the Caravan, not sure why my truck and suddenly, but progress is progress, I hate stalling.

For the guy with the '01 that keeps dying, could it simply be your alternator is shot? I know you had it tested, but, the glove box light does not sound like the likely culprit, not on a new battery.

As far as the idling goes, it idled at like 1000/1100 constant before and now it idles at around 300/400 rpms. Really low. It just about dies everytime you give it gas as it idles back down.
Someone help me. Thanks.
