Problem overview

Some Dodge Ram 2500 owners report experiencing engine stalling when shifting into gear, even after fuel pump and transmission repairs. This frustrating issue may stem from several underlying causes, such as a faulty pressure solenoid in the transmission valve body, which is a common fix for transmission-related stalling. Additionally, owners are advised to inspect fuses, as problems in this area can lead to stalling despite the engine cranking. Unresolved transmission issues may also persist, necessitating a thorough check of all transmission components to ensure proper functionality. Some owners find that problems with the torque converter, particularly its lockup function, can cause the engine to stall when shifting. Furthermore, issues with the idle control system might contribute to stalling, making it important to check and repair this system as needed. Lastly, electrical problems within the vehicle, including faulty sensors and wiring, could also be responsible for the stalling concern. It is crucial for owners to systematically address these potential causes and consult with a professional mechanic or dealership for assistance in resolving this persistent issue.
