Starting Issues

[ProjectSlim]

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.9 Magnum automatic. Here lately whenever I go to start my truck it starts then dies immediately after. The only way to keep it running is keep my foot on the gas and drop it down into drive and keep on the gas for about 1-2 minutes.

The PCM is losing the setting for the IAC or the IAC is failing.

Have y'all ever replaced one or know someone that has?

Yea, it's on the back side of your throttle body. Very simple to swap.
