Default random stalling

alright guys and gals I need some serious help. My truck is randomly stalling out. Its a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9. It only stalls when its in motion never at idle or stopped at a light. 98% of the time it stalls on the interstate only once in town. It drives normally gives a small jerk and its dead, I pull over to the side of the road and wait about 5 mins and it starts up again. There is no codes coming up and when its stalled I plugged a code reader into it and nothing. I replaced the ignition fuse, the coil, distrubtor cap and rotor, the TSP sensor, and recently the PCM. Now once I put a used PCM on last Thursday it ran fine. Its been running fine for a week and all the sudden it started stalling again this morning. I drive about 30 miles to work. It normally stalls once on the way to work and once on the way home. Once it stalls and starts up again it runs fine for the rest of the ride home. I was thinking about pulling the tank, completely cleaning it out and while I have the tank down change out the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel regulator. Any other suggestions?

had the same issue when I bought my truck. probably why the guy sold the truck to me cheap, it was doing the same thing to him.
try replacing the crankshaft position sensor. it can go defective and not throw a code.
also, the new one I bought was defective brand new out of the box. Dodge said they weren't surprised.

So did the crankshaft positioning sensor fix it for you?
