03 ram 1500 4x4 5.7 hemi shuts off while driving. Doesnt seem to shift into 1st gear or overdrive

Asked by Joseph Mar 25, 2019 at 03:31 PM about the 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I can drive this truck for an hour sometimes with
no problems and other times it will shut off 10
times in that same hour. The guages will all go to 0
and back up over and over while driving, mostly
shuts off while pulling out of a stop sign seems
like trans slipping then shuts off. When it shuts off
it acts like I just shut the key off... no bucking or
trying to run just instantly dies. Wait about 10
seconds and the dummy lights on the dash light
back up and it will start right back up. also
sometimes it will do it while trying to start it... it
will turn over for a split second and then act like
you shut the key off. Wait a few seconds and try
again and it starts right up. I already replaced the
ignition switch, crank shaft sensor, transmission
control, transmission input and output shaft
sensor.  All relays.

You may have a short in the wiring harness leading up to the coil pack at least that's was the problem with mine.
