Default Hey everyone!!

Finally found a nice place to ask questions. I have an 03 ram 2500 Hemi. For some reason it will just shut off. I have no owners manual but in the lower right of the instrument panel there is a lightning bolt that flashes when this happens. It's driving me crazy any suggestions? Thanks

Welcome to DF
The lighting bolt on the cluster is for the throttle. You may want to get it to the dealer to find out if there is a flash for that problem. You could also have a crank sensor causing the engine to just shut off.

A crank or cam sensor can cause the engine just to quit. That means the PCM lost a signal from that sensor. I would recommend to replace sensors if you have either a 4.7 or 5.7 engine. And use only mopar sensors.
