I called both Dodge dealers in my town and neither one knew about or could find any TSB for a stalling problem. Could those of you whom have had this done try to get some info from your dealer please. The TSB posted above does not talk about a stalling problem.

 

I was told by my dealer the cause of the stalling was that the PCM needed an upgrade,Altair found the TSB for the upgrade, it does not say however it is used to solve the stalling problem, so that is where they get ya...... If ya think about it the whole system is designed to get the most money out of you, did you honestly think they would put it in plain english in the TSB so that if anyone could read it they could go I want a free re-flash?

 

Yes I did. Mitsu does. All their TSB's are for the Tech's so they don't beat around the bush. They say here is the problem and here is the fix. Why can't Dodge do that?[:@]

 

We would all be in much better shape if they would.

 

Sorry if I missed the post somewhere, I did search. Have any of you cleaned your own TB on a 2006 V6 Dakota? My brother is having problems with his truck stalling (around 30,000 miles) and wanted to give this a try. Any info on what you all use and how you go about cleaning it would greatly be appreciated. I will also try to see if I can get the dealer to do the PCM flash. Also the spark plugs have been changed and all regular maint. has been done.

 

I also have this rough idling issue with my '05, 4.7 liter Dakota. My engine light came on because of the EGR which the dealer replaced. This did nothing with the idle. I ended up replacing the spark plugs which didn't do anything either. While I had the ducting off I decided to clean out the throttle body. I had one of those straws you attach to the nozzle of a spray can on the carb cleaner nozzle. I opened the throttle and sprayed away. Unfortunately, the straw went flying straight into the intake. I spent the next 5 hours trying to get it out. I used mirrors, a "see snake" rented from Home Depot, my wife's hand, sticky stuff on the end of a wire, shop vac. No luck. I had to have my shop remove the entire intake plenum, injectors and everything on top to finally get that freakin straw out of my engine. I won't make that $180 mistake again. My warranty is up in about a week. I'm taking the truck in on 4/17 to have them replace the outer tie-rods. I'll ask them about this idle issue and forward what they tell me.
