OK Guys and gals here is my issue tonight. I just changed the radiator due to a little leak and after the install I started the van to make sure all is well and everything worked great. Here is the problem I let her down off the jacks let it idle for a while and she purred. I put her in reverse to take a ride and she stalled and lost all power headlights and all. Let her sit for a little and she started back up nice. Same thing drop in reverse and no power and stalled. Now she has no power to ignition headlights etc but all other interior lights works etc. Any quick ideas? Thanks

Did you remove the radiator through the top or bottom. I would check all the wiring and connections that run on the firewall around the ballast resistor, fusible link and battery.

Through the top because of my sway bar being in the way. I took a look but I will look again. It ran great until I put her in gear. Then poof!

Now tonight I come home fire her up let he idle for a while and waited for stall and to my suprises she did not and ran perfect. Dam I wish I can figure out these Dodges. Not sure if the problem fixed itself or what so I took a quick ride and no problems.
