2006 Dakota Random Stalling
I recall reading a post on here several months back (not sure by who) that mentioned some wiring around the AC dryer area (PCM wiring I guess) under the hood on the passenger side having problems due to moisture from the AC dryer.
Again I'm going by vague memory but I think whoever wrote it suspected it may have been the cause of their stalling problem. Maybe someone else remembers the post. Might be worth looking at anyway. I've been meaning to check mine. My truck has stalled a handful of times since I've owned it, but so far not enough to set me off.

What spark plugs did you use in the tuneup?
I'd say battery as well would be the most likely cause. I am not sure how the 4.7L HO acts when an oxygen sensor is faulty, but in a 4.7L Durango or 5.2L/5.9L Ram, a bad precat O2 sensor would cause that as well. 59xxx is a little low of mileage for one of those to be out of whack, so I wouldn't worry about them yet.
And no, before you ask, a bad O2 sensor will not necessarily throw a code.

It doesnt have a carb... and I didnt even bother putting o2 sensors into the equation yet due to it being low mileage and im not smelling any weird smells. I used Champion Copper plugs. Not platinum.
I start mine, jump in and drive away, All winter long leaving work, in below freezing temps. Not a single problem, quess im lucky lol
I cleaned that throttle body. my girlfriends dads does the same thing, and i know someone i work with whos does it also, i wonder if its something with the engine. i dont mind turning it on and waiting 30-60 seconds, but id like to find out why it stalls.
