I've done everything I can an changed everything I know, but my truck is still stalling on me at stop signs, redlights an even while going down the road it will just stall an will not restart for 30 mins or longer, please help me, is this a recall issue? 1999 Dodge ram 1500 5.9,

Do you drive a 1999 DODGE RAM?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
