NEXT DAY, STALLING OUT AGAIN, EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 LITER WITH 48K MILES THAT HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS (E.G. ERG VALVE REPLACED, POWER STEERING RESERVOIR (CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED), AND ENGINE STALLING AT AN IDLE, WHILE TURNING, WHILE BACKING UP, OR COASTING. THE STALLING OCCURS OUT OF THE BLUE AS IF SOMEONE FLIPPED A SWITCH CAUSING THE ENGINE TO DIE. THE ELECTRICAL STAYS ON, JUST THE ENGINE DIES. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE STALLING BEGAN ABOUT THREE - FOUR MONTHS AGO. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AT LEE'S SUMMIT DODGE, LEE'S SUMMIT MISSOURI. *TR

I AM NOW PAYING FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH DEFECTS THAT I BOUGHT FROM A CROOKED COMPANY. ONCE AGAIN....PLEASE HELP.....THANK YOU. *AK
