I Have A 1996 Dodge Diesel And When It Is Put Into Gear It Dies Unless You Keep Your Foot On The Acclerator Thank You For Any Help

whats your idle rpm in neutral

Had a gaser do the same thing to me before. I had to put it in gear and give fuel quick or it would stall - not very easy on the drivetrain doing so. Also, it would stall out at a stop unless in neutral. It was the torque converter.

 

It sounds like the perfect candidate for low idle , Read YOUR ( they are different) engine data plate for correct idle rpm ( in gear with a/c on for autos)

Data plate is found here:

And the idle adjustment instructions are here:

I have to agree - low idle syndrome. What is your idle in gear?

 

+1 more on the low idle adjustment

 

I agree, crank up the idle.

 

Don't discount the torque convertor though. There are a few on here that have talked about this in the past.
Torque convertor loads up and stalls the engine.
