Default 2003 1500 4.7l magnum stalling issue

Hello, I am new to mechanics and I'm having some unfortunate issues with my beloved ram, it's got this stalling issue where whenever I'm at a stop, it'll stall when I try to go, considering its an automatic, I doubt its my fault, unless I'm somehow that bad, but regardless, it'll start back up as if nothing happened. but still, I can't trust it to get me to work, I've tried a few things that may have caused it, I've replaced my battery, my 02 sensor, I've checked my grounds, my fuses, and I still can't seem to fix it, I'd love to scan a obd code but the computers are erased every time it stalls, the codes usually come back every 3 days after I'd erase them( I've had a code for the hvac for a while) I have a feeling it's a electrical problem but that's mostly outside my knowledge, again I'm practically new to auto mechanics, everything I k ow I've taught myself, which isn't alot, but I really don't want to sell it, and I don't want to take it to a mechanic to have twice as many issues when I get it back. Open to all suggestions

. Thank you for your help

Mine did this when my speed sensor went bad, except the difference was everytime I came to a stop it would stall, and my Speedo did work….went under and I had an exhaust leak that melted my speed sensor wires to the rear pumpkin….

but my truck has the 46re trans….

Could be the TPS sensor having a bad spot on the rheostat causing it to send a messed up signal to the PCM.
