Just got an '06 1500 with 5.7
First post so hello all,
I have never owned a Dodge, so I'm a nooby with them. I am about to move to Colorado in the snowy mountains, so I traded in my 2WD Ford for this 4WD Dodge. So far it's a great truck. Only 1 issue -- sometimes (4 times in a week so far) it just dies after shifting into drive. No engine light comes on or anything. A buddy says it is likely a clogged throttle body or the computer needs a reboot. I read through the "common issues" thread and didn't ser anything. Any ideas?
Also, is there anything else I should watch out for? It has 136k mileage and actually runs fantastic. Thanks!
