2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi with automatic transmission stalls at an idle. There is an acitve Dtc P0406 for exhaust sensor A. Was in shop and transmission was programmed as per service bullitin but now problem is occuring again. Are these two related? If not, why is my truck stalling at an idle? Truck has also died after turning a corner but this event has seldom happened.

Replace the EGR. Same problem and this fixed it. Good luck. Sensors and valve are one unit.

I had to go to the Dealer to get the part. Costs about $80....took me a few hours to change out....was on top/back of the engine ...Driver side.

interesting that others have this problem. this sounds exactly what has been happening to me over the last year and a half. it usually happens after i've gotten low on gas (under 15 miles DTE) and i fill up the tank. I've stalled idling at a light, stalled turning left at slow speed and even one time on a highway in the city going home from work slowing down due to traffic congestion. and about a month ago my check engine light came on. do you have the part number? Is it easy to replace? I'm not auto inclined but sister-in-laws husband is. do you need a shop manual to perform? email me as i just happened across this forum. thanks.
