I own a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500, 360ci, 2wd, automatic transmission. I have been having a problem with my truck stalling at a complete stop. This doesnt happen all the time. I bought the truck used a few years ago and I am not sure what type of maintenece has been done on the truck. When I came to a complete stop, I can feel the RPMs of the truck start to drop. It is like when coming to a complete stop with a manual transmission and not engaging the clutch. Can anyone give me some pointers?

 

sounds like your iac is either dirty or needs to be replaced do a search on how to clean it try that first if that doesn't help i'd replace it, i had a problem like yours as well stalling when coming to a stop.

 

It could also be the valve body in the trans sticking causing the trans not to shift. Check your trans fluid and see what it looks like. Easy check. If its bad tho could lead to bigger problems if not corrected fast. Dirty fluid leads to rebuild in a hurry.

 

i had the exact same prob it was my iac. My truck stalled every time i stoped had to keep my foot on the break and gas. Pull the iac on the back of the throttle body its probably dirty mine was just clean it up

 

Hello everyone.

I got the same problem on my 1998 RAM 2500 Cummins. I can't seem to find the IAC. Do diesel motors have it too?

 

I had this problem, just needed a new air filter, might wanna check that too...

 

I'll do that. What's weird about it though is that it stalls only when I'm on a gear (i.e. D,2,1,R). If I'm on neutral or park it doesn't do that. I'm worried it's something in the tranny.

 

I suggest you post this question in the oil burner section.

 

The problem was with the torque converter...hopefully this will save you the time and $75 diagnosis it cost me

 

Mine was doing the same thing. It was the torque converter. Cost $75 go diagnosis, and I was quoted $805 for parts & labor but then found someone else to do it for $675. Mine is diesel so if you have ga it might be cheaper.
