It sounds like your alternator is dieing out, or you have dropped a belt (should overheat though) With the vehicle running, remove the posative cable from the top of your battery and see if the vehicle stalls. If it does it's a good sign your alternator is no good.

SOURCE: engine stalls at stop lights and stop signs

sounds like the torque converter lock up might not be disengaging. You might also want to check for engine vacuum leaks. Does engine idle smoothly when in park or nuetral ? if the idle is good I would suspect torque converter problem.

SOURCE: truck dies when i stop or slow down

this may be the cause, try it and see if it helps, it is a very common cause of problems like yours.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

SOURCE: 03 Ram 1500 E-Brake light flashing

its possible the switch on the e/brake unit broke, take a flashlight and locate a single/double wire that goes to the e/brake assembly (this is the piece you depress with your left foot) and look to see if the wire is broken or the switch the wire goes to is broken.

It is possible that it is coincidence. Check if after revving it would stall after when your truck is in neutral or in park. This is to isolate the problem if it is the engine when in load or the transmission.

Is this a manual transmission? If there are shifting issues it may be the clutch. Other than that have the fuel pressure tested. The fuel regulator may be faulty or there are leaks or bad lines on the vacuum hoses.
