my 03 ram hemi auto did this stall thing when it was new and cold in the mornings, backing out my driveway, int drive it stalled almost every morning, dealer said a firmware upgrade would fix it, .. it did.

 

WOW.... Old thread, but glad to hear the solution.

 

My 4.7 stalled a couple times....the 5.7 just idles low.... But i'd really get the Hemi....

 

I agree with ya there, but dont forget gm's through away motors and the fact their I6 has a problem dropping cylinder sleeves.lol

 

I only have 400 miles on my new 07 ram, but I have had no shutting off problems. My work truck is an 07 Ford F350 SC 4x4 V10 and I have had it shut off 3x on me in the first 2200 miles. It happens when I shift from N to D or R too quickly after starting it. It's a great thing on a law enforcement vehicle. [:@]

 

Mine has 850 and the only problem I have is that Hemi likes to spin the tires, lol

 

happened once, while idle at a red light. 04 1500 5.7 never happened again.

 

I would buy the hemi. I had the 4.7L in a 02 qc 4x4 and it was a gutless wonder. So I went and bought a 2500 with the ctd. The 4.7L sucks imo but thats just me.

 

I have never had a problem. My 2500HD Hemi runs on all 8-cill all the time it is not a Hemi MDS.

Anyway, the transmission constantly adjusts how firmly it shifts between P-R-D. It learns every time you shift.
