| Description of the problem | 2003 dodge ram 1500 5. 7l 2wd truck stalled. Most recent listed below but happened before as well. No events leading up to failure. Driving on highway, in traffic, truck shutters (like it downshifted several gears at once) then engine quit. Have electrical accessories, radio, fan, windows and dash are working, but engine not running. Coast to stop on side of road. Shift to park but won't re-start. Have towed to dealership (which was closed because this happened on a sunday). Next day the truck stared fine at dealership and had no codes. Dealer did nothing to repair. The first time this happened, the same thing happened. Towed to dealer at night, started the next morning and had no codes. Dealer re-flashed computer that time. *nm |
