Was on my way to a town 35 minutes away from my home and my 2004 ram 1500 5.7 stalled 13 times . Shuts down and you wait two minutes and then it starts and you drive two miles and it stalls again. It been like this for awhile. We took it in too a mechanic and they said they tried different keys , checked starter, check computer and nothing.
when i bought it this summer it didn't do it , now that it turned winter or colder it is stalling more .

Does anyone know what is wrong with it ????

Shutting down and then re-setting ought to throw a code. One thought is your fuel system. May be your fuel pump is iffy. if not, you probably need someone to check your PCM because something is triggering the shut down.

Sorry yes the engine light comes on and an lighting bolt symbol or voltage light then it stalls. Then you wait 30 seconds and it deos it again.

Could be pcm or throttle body the red lighting bolt is throttle body but PCM controls everything. There will be codes stored in computer you need to plug it in and check it

I had the same flashing lightening bolt a couple weeks ago ...had the codes ran, I do not remember the exact numbers but in my case it was telling me I had restricted air flow on the throttle body. Cleaned my TB, had the codes flashed, no issues since.
