Thank you BW! I am now crystal clear on that 
I guess I will have him look / change or test the 02 sensor today..other than that..I only know I can't drive the truck over 10 miles, then it stalls, and I have to wait for it to cool down b/4 starting again. This is crazy. :::smh:::

Disconnected the 02 sensor..no luck. The mechanic spent the morning tracing and checking all the wiring and found spark coming IN the coil, but not OUT. Called parts store, the guy just happen to be rebuilding HIS dodge and said he had the same problelms. Decided to order a reman. ECM for $138/with their discounts. Will arrive on Saturday. I HOPE this is the solution! Thanks, guys, for ALL your input!

My 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 does this same thing. I'm not sure were to start. The longer I let it cool down, the longer I can drive it. Also if I have the A/C on it tends to shut down faster. I guess because the engine heats up faster. Please my wife is beating me up because I bought dodge. I need some help. What can it be?
If that doesn't help, check the throttle position sensor.....

I know NAPA crank sensors are garbage.
And seems as tho people have experienced issue's with every other brand out there.

Changed the ECM and truck has been running PERFECT since..So the total amount spent BEFORE the ECM was about $400 in parts that weren't really needed..I guess the mechanic should have checked the ECM first?
I LOVE my Dodge!! oh yes I do..

After over a year and a crapload of $$$$..I have replaced the Idle air sensor THREE times and the truck has been running fine ever since! (the 1st 2 were bad from the parts store) also replaced the ECM @ $138 from Discount auto.
Knocking on wood this truck makes it to the 1st of the year w/no problems, I do, however,need brakes. LOVE my truck!
