Default RE: Stalling due to low idle - update

I have noticed that when I start my truck and the throttle takes more effort to respond then it normally would, then my truck will def. stall out. If I put the truck in gear and take off normally I have no problems.. My truck stalls out at ever day that I move it at work. I took it to the dealer and they had it all day and still couldnt figure it out. If things persist, I am going to push the OHIO lemon law and get a new truck or my money back!

ORIGINAL: mag75

pc specialist: my ram did the same thing, in reverse and turning the wheel all the way. It has only happened about 3 times and i am at 32k, not really a problem though
My truck did the same thing today. I was pulling in a tight spot, turned the steering wheel all the way to the left, put it in reverse to straighten out...and it stalled.

My truck does it everyday! The dealership installed a little recording devise on my truck called the co-pilot. Friday will be the 7th time I have been to the dealership for this problem. Truck is just over 2 months old and only has 3100 miles on it. If it can not be fixed, I will get a new truck. Thank GOD for the STRICT OHIO LEMON LAW!

i had that same problem on my 02 4.7 ram, it died on me twice, once while backing out of a parking spot at wally world, and then again, when pulling into my garage at home. i said the hell with it, and bought my hemi, never looked back or had any problems

I'm in the same boat guys, well boat being a 5.7 05 hemi. Anyway, someone mentioned getting the superchips, well since my superchips flashpaq install, I have stalled 3 times, before that once. The beast has only 4300 miles on it, and mine has happened weather being cold or warm, all times just sitting in traffic at a light or something. Sooo I REALLY need to know a fix for this as well. I'm hoping maybe the dealer will re flash it as well. I'd love to know who gets to the bottom of this soon!

I have a 2005 4.7 and it has stalled twice.. Both times in reverse and turning the wheel... Not to big of a problem, but one would expect a truck with 7000 miles not to stall.
