First off I'd like to say thanks for having me. I bought a 2010 SLT 4x4 with 95000 miles on it a few days ago. It's a great truck. However I'm just now experiencing problems that didn't reveal themselves during shopping. First off. The truck stalled on three occasions while at idle prior to crossing traffic. Second. I have had two occasions when out in town where when I returned to the truck from the store I noticed my driver's side and passenger side windows where lowered maybe a quarter way. My bed light was on as well as running lights. After some research I'm thinking the TIPM is the problem. Any thoughts?

Any engine light or codes?


for passenger side windows where lowered maybe a quarter way

My 2011 did this i couldn't figure it out until i found this vid if you press un lock button 2 times and hold the windows will roll down lol.... its a feature i found when i was un locking the truck i press to many times or auto starting my remote would sometimes glitch and cause both windows to go down a bit.

Check your spark plugs. 30000 mile service interval. Also if not oem, change them out . Hemi does not play well with other than oem plugs.

So my truck stalled on me again today. Fortunately I was paying attention and was able replicate it. It appears that when I come to a abrupt stop not necessarily slamming the breaks it stall when the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

In the old days, when things were simple, you'd think a vacuum leak or something silly.
Now? Forget about it. Could be god only knows with all the crap under the hood.

Somebody needs to make an aftermarket intake and carb for these motors. Lol.

This whole stalling issue is getting to be a real problem.

Pull a spark plug check condition, gap & correct type........1 looks good the others probably the same.
If all is well check for dirty throttle body & fuel treatment in gas tank like Red Line SL-1
Sure the fuel is good?

Thx Crackerjack. I'll pull a plug for inspection. I topped of my fuel tank with premium and added Seafoam a half tank ago.
