Q: Truck runs fine then stall until i put into park
This happens to me 3 times out of the week, i start driving everything is perfectly fine then all of a sudden my truck stall usually happens when my truck is going under 40 mph, while my truck is still in drive, i push on the gas a little and nothing will move besides my rpm gauge, my speedometer doesn't move so after this my only option is to put it into park wait 30 seconds or so and put it back into drive and after i do that my truck works perfectly fine and its like nothing ever happened. Any feed back works and would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
