I am new guy to owning a dodge so I don't know anything about dodge trucks. what my problem is that I was driving my 08 ram 1500 today and my truck loses all power the only thing on is my radio was on. I don't hit my key to cause it to roll back. If anyone has had this problem please let me know how you fixed it so i can do the same. thank you

Dead battery, etc. maybe explain a little better. What is "I don't hit my key to cause it to roll back"?

Guessing it's inadvertently touching the key causing it to shut down.

My '05 was acting like this and it turned out to be the crank position sensor.
