Replying to: james1247 (Oct 11, 2009 3:26 pm) i read in my haynes manual that if your fuel filter is plugged, or partially plugged, you'll get enough fuel for the truck to run, and it will have enough pressure so the computer doesn't realize there's a problem, but you won't have enough volume to run the vehichle at driving speed. maybe try a fuel line cleaner or try idling it up for a extended period of time and see if it stalls. if it does maybe your filter is partially plugged. just a thought, good luck.

#139 of 145 '09 5.7L engine stall and will not restart..... by krajicekdodge Nov 14, 2009 (7:05 am)
I have a Ram 1500 '09 5.7L that has stalled out while driving twice now and will not re start right after stalling, but after sitting for a while waiting for the tow truck, it will start. I have had it to a dealer when I was out of town and they could not find anything wrong because it started for them, but they did a software upgrade to a computer mod for better idle performance. Just stalled again last night, same issue. This time it I got it to re start once, then shut if off and it will not start again. Waiting for the dealer to call me this morning - 11/14/09. Anyone else had this trouble? Replies to this message: tistal (Nov 20, 2009 7:11 am) krajicekdodge (Nov 20, 2009 8:56 am) corkscrew (Nov 21, 2009 5:39 am)

Replying to: krajicekdodge (Nov 14, 2009 7:05 am) I had the same problem. THe first time at 1200 miles, they said the fuses weren't seated correctly. The second time at 2700 miles, they said the PCM software needed to be updated. The service manager actually called me and said the truck starts and said there wasnt a problem before he updated the software. The third time it happened at 2750 miles (the very next time I drove the truck). They replaced the whole computer (PCM) module. I filed lemon law while it was in the dealership because it was a serious safety hazard. It turned off while driving down the street everytime. Noone at dodge would give me actual reasons or even tell me "Im sorry". I'm in mediation right now with chrysler. Replies to this message: krajicekdodge (Nov 20, 2009 8:56 am)

Replying to: tistal (Nov 20, 2009 7:11 am) Thanks for the info. Same thing happened to me with the dealer. Was out of town when it first happened. No problem found, updated the PCM. Was going ok, then it happened again while I was back at home. At the local dealer, they found no problems or codes, but the did drive it and it happened to them, also no codes found. Then they started checking the fuel pump pressure and the electrical. Final result, they said at the fuel pump it had a loose connection that would disconnect with vibrations and that's why it wouldn't start. They dropped the fuel tank and replaced the pump and made sure all connections were solid. It drove from the dealer home with no problem, but have not had it out since.

Replying to: krajicekdodge (Nov 14, 2009 7:05 am) I'm not sure if this is related, but there is a recall on 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander for the same problem. I wonder if the part found its way into the Ram: www.nhtsa.gov/recalls/nhtsa campaign id number 08V059000.   Corkscrew
