Default 99 5.2 dakota randomly Dying..Any Ideas??

99 318 (5.2) randomly dies when driven after a short trip 10 min or so..not real regular at this point..driveability is fine no rough starts, and fires right up..no codes either, new plugs a yr ago, new filter oil change.. 133,000 miles, gas mileage is very acceptable 18 mpg region..I hate chasin problems like this, can get expensive

Check your tranny fluid level. If it is low the TC is trying to stay in lockup.
