Default Stalling?

In the past month my truck has stalled on me 3 timesat low rpm's as I am turning corners. I took it to the dealership & they said it's not throwing any codes & everythings fine. Today it stalled twice in the middle of an intersection. Has anyone had any issues with this on their Ram? Any feedback will help.

i had this issue a few times on my 02 ram with the 4.7....you might try cleaning the throttle body....mine always happened to me when i was backing out of a parking space with the wheel turned...i'd try cleaning the throttle body and then go from there...if it's got very many miles on it, it'll prolly need it anyway

The truck has 23,000 miles on it. I'll give the TB cleaning a try thanks.

I had a jeep charokee do the same thing but it was the crankshaft position sensor . It would stall just driving down the street some times it would start right back up and other times it would crank over but not run . took me forever to figure it out

I believe there is a TSB regarding the stalling while the wheel is cut sharply. If it's not a TSB, then at least they know about it, because not long after I got my truck, I took it in for a freebie oil change and they asked if I had the issue, which I had not at the time. I asked why and they said that there was a PCM update that fixed it and they wanted my permission to flash it withthe update while it was there, even if I had not experienced the problem.
Take it to the dealer and make them flash the PCM with the newest update...

I had this same problem at the most inconvenient times and locations. if your cam sensor comes up as bad, it's BS. Don't waste your time replacing it, it'll be back on in a few days saying it's bad again. Have you changed the plugs lately? all 16 of them? I know guys who have thought they had 8, changed 8 with different than factory and ended up running 8 old, 8 new, different spark temps and it caused this problem. Mine was totally diff. with the SC.
