Default truck stalling

I have a 2003 1500 truck, the battery died and had to replaced one end of the battery cable, now when you put the truck truck in park it stalls every time and sometimes it will stall when you shift gears any guesses what it could be

More info would be a help...Engine? You say shifting gears...you mean going from R-N-D or you talking manual?

First I would make sure that your battery wires are tight on both ends. Then if that's not the case maybe look at the neutral safety switch?

Is your alternator charging properly? What is your idle at in park and drive when it's not stalling?
So this didn't happen prior to the battery change? ever?
