Default Help: Truck dies when stopping or switching gears

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 that has been stalling at stop lights/ signs, or when pulling into a parking space. Sometimes it will die when switching from drive to reverse. My problems started about 4 months ago when I was driving on the interstate and felt truck lose power and check engine light came on. Scanned it to find out my shift solenoid had gone out. Ordered the part and replaced it along with my transmission filters filled it up and light went away. About a week after that it started this whole stalling mess and I cannot locate the cause of it. I have replace my camshaft, crankshaft, and MAP sensors. I have cleaned both front and back of my throttle body, and replaced the air filter. There is no check engine light and I cannot figure out what the problem is idk if I received a faulty shift solenoid and that could cause it? However I have had no problems shifting nor has there been any hard shifting. I’m at a loss any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Verify you've got the correct trans fluid level. How are you checking the level?

Default Cure for the almost identical issue.

I had almost the same issue as you almost to achieve everything believe it or not I replaced every sensor so annoyed tech refuse. My brother-in-law is a diesel mechanic here in Phoenix, Arizona smart man very good mechanic one of the best I’ve seen told me to get a PCM, so that was the problem so once I listen to somebody else cause I thought I know everything bought a PCM truck run no issues
