We can drive it most times with no problem but on a rainey day like today it stalled when coming to stop 8 times! I love this truck but man I sure could use some help with this one! When it stalls we turn the key off and then back on and it starts right up like nothing happend then at the next stop it stalls out again! Can you please help!

There is a technical service bulletin for this type of problem. What happens on many of these Durangos is that water leaks down onto the engine from the cowl panel. It is the black plastic panel under the wiper arms.
The parts are only available from a Dodge dealership as far as I know.

I fixed this problem on a durango last year. In that case, it was a bad battery terminal. If you kept your foot on the brake and gave it a little gas, it would stay running. I did find it wierd that it would start right up again, but it was fixed for good with a new positive terminal. Let me know how they look.
