These trucks do very strange things when the battery voltage is not correct.I once had those symptoms right before the battery went dead.

Angry Wont start IT DIDNT EVEN LASt 1 ****ING DAY

I got my truck last night and drive it all day today with no problems till now. Im sitting at a taco bell drive through and my truck dies for no reason at all. It was running great, no somke, no funny idle, oil pressure was ok. no coughing or sputtering. It dies for no reason. So i had to have the people behind me back out and i had to push my truck to a parking spot, and its going to be sitting there till tomorrow until i can call the shop and have them pick it up. I AM PISSED OFF. i hate dodge. this truck has been problem after problem, i knew i should have went with the ford over this POS

Sorry to hear that man. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS, but we all have our days...heck, sometimes week like this. It may seem like a huge problem now, but in the end it's something stupid that we (the owner) somehow over looked. The DF will do all we can to help you fix it. Again, sorry to hear that happened. Hang in there!!!

the truck is at the shop again, so we'll see how it turns out. The real problem is that i have no way to get to work or school. My parents have to have their car, and i cant drive my mustang because it needs tires in the worst way. It just add more stress to my life right now.

Did you ever change the IAC? I would do that first. It's pretty easy, just two screws. But, I would only replace it with a MOPAR IAC. I tried one from Kragen and it didn't do a good enough job, still had some problems.

Resetting the computer will just make it run well for a while until it bogs down with the same problem. First IAC, have the mechanic check the fuel pressure to see if you need a new pump. One more thing, it could be the catalytic converter not letting the engine breathe.

Good Luck!

GOOD DEAL!!!. Glad to hear that. I had my ignition coil harness go out on me. When it did, my heart dropped because I thought it was a tranny problem. Replaced the harness and it was as good as new.
