Default Dies in gear

Hi all, new here hoping someone can help! I have an 2001 Dak with 4.7l 4x4. It idles just fine in park and neutral but dies in gear. I cleaned throttle body, replaced IAC, no change. Replaced MAP sensor and it ran great for a week. Now back to dying. Any ideas? I miss my little baby! Thanks.

That's the frustrating part. No codes. I'll look up how to check the crank sensor. Thanks a bunch!

Default Update

I'm an idiot. Assumed just cause my engine light wasn't on, I had no codes. So I used my monitor and there was a po740 code. Yuck I wish it drillrd down to the solenoid but no, apparently I have a bunch of diagnostics to do to drill down. Man will I feel like a du×& a## if it's just dirty tras fluid and filter. Hopefully, it's an electrical problem in the connection to the TCC solenoid! Thanks all, I'll keep you posted.
