I have an 03 Ram 1500, 4.7 i n which the battery will intermittently die overnight. Battery replaced. Problem still exists. Another intermittent problem is sputtering, as if its starving for fuel, when coming to a stop. If you press the gas pedal, it'll stop sputtering. There are no codes. Not even a check engine light. I'm not sure if I'm chasing one or two problems.

It sounds like separate issues. Just my initial thoughts. Not sure how they could be related. Maybe EFI fuses/wiring.
Sounds like there is a drain on the system somewhere.
I've seen a good youtube video on checking for electrical Parasitic Draw Test & diagnostic. A great channel

Be sure to post on what you find out.
