Default 2003 2500 4x4 Hemi running like crap, stalling

Please help. truck was running just fine until one day I was accelerating from a stop sign and the whole truck started shaking. It stalled and I had to get it off the road. No check engine light or anything. I strated back up and it was still shaking. Shut it off for 5 mins and it srtarted up fine. Accelerated and it started again. I drove it home like that. I have cleaned the throttle body (no cleaner, just a clean rag) and intake. I filled up with 93 octane as i normally run 89 and used Lucas injector cleaner, no help...


Any ideas?

Thanks Donnie

sounds to me like a batch of bad gas to hit you all at once like that, probably water in it. Even if you run most of it out and put in good gas you can still have water in there. Try a bottle of Gas Line Anti-Freeze/Water Remover, might just be the ticket...

I agree, If you didn't get a cel it's prolly like HAMMER said, bad gas.Or maybe fuel pump/filter? Good luck
