2011 randomly stalls

[alnelson14]

My mom has a 2011 1500 with a 5.7 in it. Truck has 40,000 miles on it, and recently started shutting off at stop lights. So far, it has always fired right back up. However just now she said it started and sputtered when she took off. Truck continued to run. Oil is good. No check engine codes. Any suggestions on where to start? IAC?

Reading more there is no IAC. She says the radio and lights stay on, just the engine shuts off. Im going to replace the battery (its original) tonight, clean the throttle body, and check the transmission fluid. Going to try these things before doing the ignition switch.

I was going to say check throttle body as she may need a cleanin!

That was next on my list, but I solved it.

Her and dad bought it brand new in 11. Pops passed in 2015 at 53 years young, and i talked her into moving closer to me. Shes quite the homebody. Dont think the trucks gotten 15,000 on it the last five years.
I'm embarrassed to say this. I hadnt had a chance to check anything on the truck before my post, but it was the air filter. It was original to the truck and when she would let off the throttle, it would just strangle the engine. Replaced it and it hasnt died again!
