*100 Degree day
*Fresh tank of full 91 octane gas
*Started her up and didn't give much time to warm up
*Less than a mile from the house
*Coasting slowly to a stop light
*Felt the power steering go out and then realized the entire truck had stalled out
*No rough idling or indication the truck had stalled besides the power steering and air conditioning stopped blowing cold
*Check engine light was on
*Truck started up right away and was fine after that
*Drove it 50 miles yesterday all over the place and it's been fine

Any ideas?

2004 with 35K miles on it, 5.7 4X4

crap in the gas tank, thats been an issue for me in my 08, ive got some trash in there that gets stirred up when i get gas, right after i get gas i have a stalling issue for a short bit and then all is well, it started really random and then got to be every fill up, i need to drop my tank but ive been too lazy to do it so ive just dealt with it, although i have been doing a few fuel treatments and putting in the high grade gas and since i started doing that, it has not acted up since....

I had actually got gas days before the stall. Drove .5 miles to my house with no issues. Truck sat for a few days then the stall happened within a mile of the house.

My 2004 has done this in the past. Even fully warmed up. I had it stall on me while sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, coming to a slow stop behind another car. It will stall when going from stop light to stop light sometimes too. Very random and infrequent.

I've noticed that it usually happens after I have recently reset the computer or made some other change to the truck. Usually clears itself up as the truck re-learns things.
