I have a 2002 dodge durango 4.7l and one day while driving it just died. The truck would not start again till it cooled down. It has not overheated past normal operating temp but when it comes to normal operating temp it dies. I replaced the crank sensor, camshaft sensor, tps sensor and the pcm. The PCM was reset by myself anbd the codes disappeared. After ten to fifteen minutes the truck got back up to normal operating temp and when given gas it died. Also I replaced the spark plubs and there was no moisture around them so I don't think I have a blown head gasket. I think I have a sensor out but I dont know which one. MAP sensor, O2 sensor ??????????"?

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the first generation Durango section,

it almost sounds to me like your PCM is overheating and killing the truck, uncommon for your model year, but more common on the 98/99s with dark colored paint, next time it happens put a bag of ice on the PCM and try starting it, if that does the trick i would replace the PCM

 

Will it idle at normal temp?

Can you rev it in park at normal?

What happens when the A/C is turned on at normal?

 

Welcome to the site

You said "the codes disappeared". Did you by chance write them down so you know what they were? Posting them for us to see will help you out
