'97 Ram 2500 5.9 4x4 Stalling..Help!!
My baby can sit an idle for 30 to 40 min no issues .. I drive her she randomly dies sometimes I can tell.. before I changed the fuel pump I could tell she was gonna die within 2 minutes she would act funny once I put her in 3rd gear. I assumed fuel pump because she has 146k miles so changed it.. the guys over tightened the collar she threw 3 codes 320, 340, and 441 I loosed the collar reset computer no more codes but she is still dying. I decided to change the ignition coil thinking it made sense., Cause when she dies she would sit for 35-40 min then she would fire right back up. Even after changing coil I drove her 7.9 miles she dies. No pressure in the tank ..changed hose on evap canister on the rail noticed it had cracks hoping it was part of the issue, drove 2 miles died..sat 35 min fired right up.... Any ideas I am open to suggestions

Everytime she does it I am in a bad place to check it , so what I have done so far is fuel pump change, figured couldn't hurt at 143k miles, ignition coil, and talked to my mechanic who had no time for weeks told him I was leaning towards the PCM he agreed said they will get to a certain temp and shut down then fire right back up so ordered a refurb... still no change with changing. BUT ...
I went to change my crankshaft sensor tonight was wiping it all down before changing and a hose with a metal tube on the end that has a bracket that bolts somewhere came down with my rag... followed it back to the top of my manual tranny... any idea where this may connect or bolt to? Tried sucking on it... holds suction hard to blow into.. not sure if this could be part of my issue or not but holding off on sensor til I figure out where this goes if it is just some sort of vent or if it actually connects to something my book is useless.

I would check fuel pressure. Spectra pumps don't have the best rep.

Ok help again pretty please? I changed out the purge valve there was a bunch of black crap in the hose. So hung the hose upside down dumped it out... Hooked it all back up...fired her right back up let her idle a bit no issue...shut her down... Packed princess gearheads up and she wouldn't start.. popped hood made sure vacuum hoses were tight and connector was snapped on... Pulled hose back off dumped more black stuff out... Put hose back on...tried firing her again smelled gas bad..thought I found a way to flood her... Said forget it walked away looked down.. saw gas under my truck ..my gas line popped off...

Your filter on the charcoal canister is shot. Need to replace it or disconnect it. Don't hook up the line coming from it or you will get more black crap coming from it. There is something that looks like thick coffee filter that keeps the charcoal in it. When they go bad it allows the charcoal to enter the vac line.
