My 99 5.9 magnum durango will die while driving and sometimes sittin idle. Have replaced coil and crankshaft positioning sensor and hasnt fixed the problem. It will restart after stalling. When it does this the fuel pump does not come on and the digital odometer reads no bus I think. But when it will start back up it reads the numbers again

The no bus means you are losing communication with the computer. Check the wiring harness to the PCM to make sure it is tight and not corroded.

Let me know what you find.

I'm glad it is fixed. That is why you were getting the no bus. Let us know if you have questions in the future.
