Side note check Engine light has never been triggered. The only thing I knew different in the last couple weeks with me that I am running AC nonstop also when it dies it will not restart for 2- 10 min (great fun when at a stop light the ppl behind me always seem to love it)

Ok was just letting it run in the driveway and of course it died when I try to restart it the engine light stays on and I am getting the word no bus in the Odo Display and will not re start

The computer is located directly above the engine. This is a big flaw when it comes to dodge. What's happening is the relays in your computer are getting hot as the engine warms up. As the heat expands the relays it causes break in circuitry in board. That's why won't start for period of time, its cooling down and contracting to make circuit again. Best fix is new board and build cooler box around board. If you've got the time and $$, move the board to the cab side of firewall! Hope this helps

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram Van 1500 5.2 V8. As soon as it hits operating temp, after about 10 minutes, it will stall at a red light or while coasting. Then it will start right back up and won't do it again. Initially thought it was the computer overheating, and had to cool, but it was a loose battery cable. Replaced the terminal and now it immediately starts right back up. I'm still researching. I'm going to check the auto shutoff relay, throttle body, ICM, plugs and wires, etc. and report back.
