Default Truck stalls

As i was driving I noticed a slight hesitation while driving. I came to a stop sign and it stalled. I started it back up and it sounded like it had 4+ misfires. I have no check engine light. Where do I start? Got it home, but during the drive home it would go down to 200RPM and rev up without me giving gas.

Try cleaning the IAC and throttle body. Disconnect negative battery cable first. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-r...n-the-iac.html

+1 on the idle air control on the back of the throttle body, clean the sensor and the canal it goes into.

I hit the gas tank with a hammer and it drove great for a minute and died. Must be the fuel pump.

Get a cheap pressure tester and check first.
