New member here, first post.
The problem I am having is the truck dies after a long hill pulling a trailer. As soon as I let off the gas after the pull, it dies. The truck has 107000 miles. It's been a great truck. Anybody ever experience this? or know how to fix it?

 

please see the link in my signature (below) that says "Need Help? Read This First"

Then post the required information and we might be able to help.

 

mmmmm k

 

Welcome to the forum fellow Kentuckian.
I'm not sure of what info Izero was referring too. All I need to know is that you have an 04 1500 with a Hemi. It's in the title.

Anyway, I would start by cleaning the throttlebody. They get an oily, carbon buildup on the back side and it can cause the throttle blade to stick shut after acceleration when it closes off to idle down and doesn't reopen fast enough to keep it from stalling.

I cleaned mine awhile back. I wasn't having any issues, just a precautionary thing. I clean it every 30k miles when I change the plugs.

yes but he hasn't given us enough information to go off of... sure his TB might be dirty but the truck shouldn't "die" unless he is hauling over 9000# on a 3.55 or 3.92....

 

It dies after running loaded then letting off of the throttle is what it sounds like to me. Lighten up.

 

Didn't know new posters had to provide their birth certificates before being helped!
Agreed, a dirty throttle body can cause low idle condition after lugging something uphill. The butterfly has tight tolerances, and can easily get caught by carbon/oil residue.It's an easy job, takes maybe 1/2 hour. Try it first, then if necessary go from there.

 

Thanks for all the replies, I had the TB cleaned, new spark plugs, and a new egr valve installed. Also ran a bottle of injector cleaner in it. I don't know what else to do to it. I'm open for suggestions.

 

Just throwing this out there, may not help but won't hurt.
Try Seafoam, and for throttle body cleaning easily use the Seafoam spray, that stuff works wonders for cleaning dirty throttle bodies.

 

This is why I asked for some information, so we could skip the stuff he's already tried...

How much weight are you hauling?

Does the truck only do this when you are towing something, or does it happen unloaded too?

What Modifications do you have? (i.e. Cold Air Intake, Cat-Back Exhaust)

What rear end gear do you have? (i.e. 3.55, 3.92, 4.10, 4.54)

Is this a Ram 1500 or 2500?

Do you have any DTCs? (Check Engine Light?)

If so, what are the codes present?

What octane fuel do you use?

What Spark plugs did you put in? (i.e. Platinum, Copper, Iridium)

How long ago (miles or fuel fill-ups) did you use the injector cleaner?
