| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5. 7 hemi. We purchased the truck on april 20, 2004 & started having the stalling problem about 2 months ago. I have since taken the truck to the dealership where it was purchased 3 times to have the problem fixed. Each time the dealership has the truck 2 1/2 to 3 days. The truck does not stall while the accelerator is enacted. The rpm gauge will flutter when stopped & then it will drop & the truck will die. Some days the truck will stall only once or twice & other days the truck will stall up to 20 to 30 times. The dealership has replaced the following items: fault code, p0261, replaced pcm for erractic speed sensor signal. R&r pan & replaced trans filter per star 1763 wd94 0. 80. 5094274aa module-powertrain control, 5015267ac filter pkg-powertrain control, 5010884aa sealer, 5 atf bulk - +4. |
