Default 97 ram 1500 5.9 died this morning when I let off in 4x4

This morning I moved my truck to the backyard and was in 4 high. I was on the hump the plows make when they go through and it started to spin so I gave it a little more and probably not even close to 3 thousand rpm and let off and it died. It is an auto. It started right back up. Just a fluke deal or is it the start off something?

Give it time ... see if you notice anything else happening.

It happened again today when I backed out of the driveway and stopped to put it into drive. Any suggestions on what to check for would be great.

Maybe a dirty IAC?? I'm assuming it's acting up when the motors still cold?

IAC is my guess. Clean the TB and IAC and see if it happens again.

Here's how: https://dodgeforum.com/m_697481/tm.htm
