So 3 times now my '10 ram with the hemi has shut off by itself while driving. Two times when I was braking to make a corner and once while just braking. Any ideas what it could be??

Is the check engine light on? I can guarantee it is not the EGR.

You can guarantee? So you've had this issue before and you arrive at this thread and claim dominance? The EGR won't throw a code until it finally goes out completely.

Hahahahaha just trying to help, not make a wild ass guess. His 2010 does not have an EGR valve.

They quit using EGR valve when they first went to VVT. You are able to get enough scavenging of exhaust gasses with the valve overlap.

No it's not throwing any codes or anything.

I recently just had this problem fixed on my truck. It randomly would shut off while driving and it happened around 8 times. I took it to the shop and it was a simple corroded wire that needed to be replaced. I've been driving it for about two weeks now with no more issues.
