Experienced puff puff sound from underside of motor. Upon inspection one of the manifold bolts to the exhaust system was broken off. No accident/incidence caused this.

I was leaving a parking lot and comming to a stop at a stop sign it stalled out. I was running at highway speed and cumming to a stop in a left turn lane it stalled out. This is a dodge ram 1500 quad cab short bed.

I was driving my pickup in my driveway, and had to place the vehicle in park and exit the vehicle leaving the motor running. About 10 seconds after exiting the vehicle it stopped running. I have seen on internet forums that this is a relatively common occurance, and it unfortunately happens on the roadways so I feel so far I have been fortunate.
