Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 03 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7. Driving down road at
35-40 mph the truck will shut off. You have to turn switch
off and crank it back up an it will run again until you go
35-40 mph. What causes this?(I have changed and check
oil, changed transmission fuild an filters, replaced
pressure sensor on transmission, replaced throttle flow
sensor and changed gas cap and cleaned 02 sensors)

Have you checked the fuel pressure?May be fuel pump going out or clogged fuel filter.

I had the same issue. I changed the cam sensor, crank sensor and most coil packs. My issue was a broken valve spring. In my case the #8. Tore apart, changed them all. Problem solved.
