2019 Laramie suddenly dies!

[bassadict69]

I used remote start this morning and warmed up the truck a few minutes. I left the house and got about 1/2 mile from the house and the truck just suddenly died. I was doing probably 35-40 mph when it died. It would crank right back up, idle fine, then die as soon as I would put it into gear. After 10-12 attempts, it finally stayed running in gear and died as I was pulling into the convenience store another mile or so down the road to turn around. After 10-12 more tries, I was able to park it and call for a ride.
- No warning lights
- Idles and ran fine, cranks right back up and idles great, until I put it into gear.

Any ideas?

Sorry to hear that . Without throwing any codes it could be any number of things . Maybe it just didn’t turn on the cel and there’s a code stored ?

I am hoping it threw a code, or hoping it still does it when the wrecker gets it to the dealer...

Would a bad ground connection throw a code?
There are a few threads on here about bad ground connections.

eTorque or regular?

Regular...

UPDATE... The good news is that they had trouble moving it off the line and into the shop because it stalled every time they put it into gear. The bad news is that it never throws any codes.
Like I told the service advisor, "I sure hope you have a good old school mechanic that can troubleshoot rather than read an error code", I didn't get a response!

Does it stall in reverse? Sounds like the ECU for whatever reason is not getting the signal for engine load. So many things to go wrong on vehicles these days

I wish I would have tried it...All I ever tried was going straight past reverse and neutral and into drive.

I had a Dakota that I could back out of the driveway on a cold start but five miles down the road if I put it in reverse it would die every time. Never did have it looked as everybody I talked to said it was the tranny. After about 3 years it finally did go out completely. Sold it "as is".

I was told today they found a harness connector that was smashed against the frame and they would be replacing it to see if that fixes the problem!

Have them test fuel pressure as well. But I suspect if the harness moved when it goes into gear they are on to something.

Please locate bad harness on truck so others can check theirs. Bet this is a recall material.

 

[bassadict69]

Will do! I'll get all the details...

Truck is ready for me to pickup... the advisor said some wires coming out of the PDC were being pinched and causing the stall.

I also had them do the service bulletin for the screaming brakes in reverse.
