Thank you, these are also stating for the HEMIs but I have a V6. I am supposed to be driving the service manager around Friday so he can experience what I experience (insert eye roll) but of course I am sure they will say it is nothing and I highly doubt it will stall in the 5 minutes he is in the truck with me but I am going to show him these two TSBs. I am sure he will say it is not valid for my V6 engine and I cannot seem to find anyone with a V6 that has had updates to their trucks.
We are missing some helpful information on your truck. Let's start with what year is it?

I drained between .5 and .75 of a quart.
There are a few threads of people with it overfilled from the factory so I got it up to temp and checked mine and unsurprising mine was overfilled also.
If you got it all the way up to normal operating temperature and then drained it, your trans is now low on fluid. On the ZF 8HP transmissions level is supposed to be checked when fluid is between 40-50C (104-122F). At normal operating temperatures it can expand roughly ~5%, which is about half a quart considering the total fluid capacity of our trucks....which means your truck is now about half a quart low.

I checked it at 115F, but thanks.

Hi, it is a 2022 V6 etourque 1500 BigHorn Crew Cab 4x4
The TSBs provided do not apply to your vehicle. I don't see any TSB that apply to a stalling concern. There are a couple of TSBs for updates to the HCP for codes.

No none of them are stall specific but others who had stalling issues had these updates and it seems to have fixed their stalling issue....I also have rough starts where the truck lunges after being stopped at a light or slowing down but not coming to a complete stop but then accelerating again because the light changes. Unfortunately it seems only HEMIs are eligible for these updates. I was just hoping that while it says HEMI, the updates could be applied to the V6 but I am not seeing anyone with a V6 with these issues at having been addressed....thanks for responding :)

Disregard my last post, it’s back at the shop again. Stalled out completely twice this morning on my 2 mile commute to work. I’ve had it with this truck!

My 22 rebel V8 etorque is sitting at the dealer for the 2nd time over this low speed stalling issue when coming to a stop or slowing to turn between on coming traffic... Fun times!

See post here if interested.

Edit: still couldn't duplicate, still no codes, etc?

90k miles on mine, no stalling issues (knock on wood)
This seems to mostly be an issue with the 2022's (vs 2019-21's like you're 2019 Limited). My 2019 eTorque was fine.

Edit: seeing people in the other thread with 19-21's posting today that are starting to have the issue.
