2000 5.9 shuts off, no codes
I've owned this truck for about 5 months and, on two occasions while driving it, it has shut off on me. Once while sitting at a traffic light and a few months later while cruising at 50 mph.
It's an abrupt cut off like if I had turned off the switch, no sputter at all.
Both times this happened, within a minute, it would crank back up and run fine.
Took it to the Dodge dealership and they could find no problem. No codes or anything. They drove it with a fuel pressure tester attached and it held fine and let it idle while jiggling wires all over and couldn't make it hiccup.
It's a 2000 1500 SLE 5.9L gas auto 108500 miles.
Any ideas?

Shutdowns like that are often a scroungy ASD relay.
So "within a minute, it would crank back up and run fine"... what happens in that less than a minute before it cranks back up and runs fine? Does it crank and not fire? Not crank at all? You never even tried to start it up again? Does everything electrical go down with the engine, or just the engine shuts off? Need Input!
I've not heard of a TPS causing engine shutdown. Could be it happens, but I've not heard of it. What I have heard of, though, is about half of all PCM replacements being unnecessary.

The first time it happened, I tried multiple cranks and then, got out and looked under the hood, wiggling wires, re-seating relays in the power center and, by the time I got back in to try it again, it started.
The second time (it was raining), I tried just a few times to start it and then just sat there for, maybe 30 seconds and tried again when it started.
