I have the same issue. 2011 5.7L Hemi which has died twice in the past month while turning. When I come to a stop the engine idle will drop to about 450RPM then recover. Also, when idling in neutral the truck idle will bounce between 600-800 RPM.

Thanks to those that recommended checking transmission fluid! Added 2 quarts...problem solved. No more stalling when cold.
Now I need to figure out why it was low on TF. Bought it used last summer. No leaks on driveway what-so-ever.

Thanks everyone for all the details. So I have made a little progress. The dealership found out my torque converter was "sticking" so I cashed in on my warranty and they installed a new transmission. It fixed my stalling issue but I still get the RPM surge when I come to a stop. I took it back to the dealership and they said it's the throttle body which I know for a fact it is not because it's a brand new throttle body and it's doing the same thing when the old one was still installed. I checked and cleaned the PCV valve, looked for vacuum leaks, checked transmission fluid level, cleaned the MAF sensor and changed out the air filter.

I want to check the EGR valve but can't find it for the life of me. My Hanes service manual says it's in front of the right head assembly but it is definitely not there. I am not getting any error codes so I am still exploring.

Can anyone advise on the egr valve location? I was told that an IAC valve can replace the egr but I can't find one of those on my intake either.
