I have a friend that is concerned about his 05 Dodge 5.7 4X4 with aprox 40k miles. He said that twice it's shut down on him. Both times when slowing down to a stop. It started right up for him like nothing wrong. I have the same truck and couldn't think of anything. Anyone have ideas? Thanks for the help.

 

Could be lots of things it seems this is a pretty common problem on all cars lately - too many electronic compenents now days I guess. ECU, Fuel Pump, Alternator to name a few possibilities.

 

If he were to take it to an auto mech shop and do a diagnostic test, do you think it could possibly find the problem?

 

First things that come to mind are EGR,TB needs cleaning. Is he getting any CELs?

 

So he slows to a stop and it stalls out? Could be a number of small things. I agree on looking for CELs (Check Engine Lights)

 

leak in the evap system. ask him if he was on a full tank of gas and/or had topped off recently, and was the tank empty or close to empty when he filled up? was he braking kinda hard?
