Default Truck stalling

Ok decided to take the Ram for a drive last night after work and drove normal for around 5 minutes then stalled at a light. It restarted after a couple minutes and then did it again a few miles down the road and eventually restarted and got her home. I was able to replicate it after about 5 minutes sitting in the driveway.
No codes, can hear fuel prime when trying to restart, coil ohmed out good. I'm thinking crank position sensor or is there something else I should check before I start throwing parts at her?
At work so won't be able to do anything until afterwork but was going to pick up ckps on way home unless yall think I should try something else first.

Ok called around on ckps, $100 at dealer, $50 Autozone. I know it's worth it to use Mopar parts on iac and tps(ask me how I know lol) , does the ckps need to to be Mopar as well?

Yes! It's even more important there than in the IAC and TPS.

Noted.
Also with how hard it is to get to I'd really hate to have to do it again because of trying to save $50

Pain in the keester. You can see it, OR, you can touch it, but, not both at the same time. Some folks find it easier to go in from above, others get it from underneath.... I went in from on top, and yep, it was a pain. many small cuts and abrasions before I was done......

Picked up the Mopar part last night on way home but had to meet the inlaws for dinner so will be installing it today after work. Hopefully it doesn't cost me to much blood getting it in
