04 Dodge Ram 1500

Asked by Robs_914 Oct 11, 2018 at 01:23 PM about the 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 ST Quad Cab LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 04 Dodge Ram 1500 w/a Hemi.
Yesterday in my driveway the truck was
running, I put in drive and it stalled. It started
right back up and was fine the rest of the
day, until hours later I was at a traffic light
and the truck stalled when I pressed on the
gas pedal to drive off. I smelled gas and tried
starting, truck cranked and at times felt like it
wanted to start. Had the truck towed home
and didn’t mess with it. This morning I
started it, ran rough in Park. It kept wanting
to stall when I stepped on gas pedal. Ran as
it should when I just let it idal in Park but
when I step on gas pedal it bogs down until I
take foot off the pedal. Anyone with insight?

I've had the same problem. Very very rarely does it happen, but I think it's either the valves needing to be retimed or something with an overdemand of fuel at low rpms. Mine idles at 600 rpm hbu?

And yours is a worse case. Mine has just stalled at traffic lights. It is automatic by the way. Yours sounds like your catalytic converter might have caved in or gotten clogged up and that prevents the back pressure in the exhaust to escape and forces the engine to stall and run roughly. Gas engines run off of three things, fuel, AIR, and compression. Without proper back pressure the engine will either sieze or choke, which would be your bogging down at acceleration
