1996 Dodge ram Sport with the 5.9. On a washboard dirt road the other night it got so rough that the oil pressure gauge would fluctuate until the truck would shut off, fired it back up and carried on. Figured it was a short in the wire on the Oil Pressure sending unit, located it, wiggled wires the next day, got back on the road and it started missing, every time I got on the breaks it would shut off, it shut off one time at 55mph. The RPM gauge would fluctuate as well. Eventually the check engine light came on. Got the truck to the house and checked for codes. P0441 and P1391 popped up. Now I can't even put the truck in gear without it shutting off. You can hear the fuel pump running.... any ideas?

It will shift into neutral. Idles rough in park and neutral... shuts off in any of the drive gears. That's why I thought it would be fuel pump. Bought one, read problems about the p1391 code, cam sensor and crank sensor, traded In the fuel pump for a battery (woke up mine was shot) and a crank sensor. Gotta order the can sensor from Napa I guess...

Does it only do it when warmed up? or will it do it at anytime?
