Default truck stalling

I got in my truck today, started it, put it in Drive, and started moving forward, after going maybe 4 feet, it stalled. I drove the truck last about 24 hours before that. It is 48 degrees F out, so it can't be the cold. and i only have 6600 miles on the truck. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks.

I looked at the blacktop under where the truck was parked, and there was nothing on it.

Also, i drove the truck 2 or 3 miles after i restarted it without any problems at all.

Mine has stalled out twice while sitting in park idling. Not sure if it's the same issue. (06 dakota QCab)

My 05 QC 3.7 auto 4x4 did that once when I had to come to a sudden stop after some one had pulled out in front of me. I have no idea why it did this and it only did it once, but it is just one of the many problems that led me to get rid of the truck.

this (thankfully) has been the only problem i've had with the truck. i have noticed that if i just give it a few seconds (10 or so) to sit after i start it, it goes just fine.

i'm going to be taking it to the dealer for a free oil change next week, so i'll ask them to check it out while it is in the shop.

When you go for your free oil change, have them give you a free front end alignment. I just had mine in for the free oil change. I asked them to check alignment as indide edge of tire had slight wear. The alignment was wacked, didn't even pull or anything !
