Look dont sray your engine with water after you heat it up you could crack you block thats just crazy that someone would say that he is right about the sensor problem, i would think a coolant temp sensor there could be two so check did the car run hot at all

Sensor problem ,could be the crank sensor accepting water seepage was it raining when car cut out,or maybe evan connectors on the coil pack,clean all visable connectors and use some vasaline on them then warm engine up and spray with hose just see what happens ,other than that call out your friendly mobile mechanic or be prepared to lay the golden egg at the dealers

2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 engine any idea?

crankshaft sensor
stop here, this error P03xx most not be ignored ever, and you did.
all other words there are normal. for bad CKP sensors

to make spark (called precursors)
CKP must be 100% good
then CMP some DOHC with VVT have 4. .
and on modern cars 2007 they PCM sees them out of sync
it cuts spark to not bend head valves over, (a wise bit of logic)
this is push round roller rocker central cam.
so chain cam simple engine,
the CKP sensor is bad. and easy fix
you did not post all P03xx DTC codes, at all, but if it only said, ckp fails then only it is bad,
why mention cam when crank sensors fails.

After highway driving for 2 hours and stopping for gas the car would initially start and then stall, it would run again until the car cooled for 30 minutes.

Sounds like your coolant level might be low. At highway speed you probably have enough coolant and with the air passing thru the radiator keeps the temp down, but at idle not so much. Or depending whether you have a belt drive or electric fan. Belt driven, could need a new belt.

1995 LeSabre - Starts and runs fine, but engine cuts off without warning. First time, 5mph in a crowded school commute traffic. Put in park, and started right away. Second time, after turning onto...

If the motor gets hot and cuts off and will not start for a period of time the problem would be the crank sensor. The sudden cut off and starting right back up can be due to dirty battery cable connections. Remove them from battery and clean all three of them with a wire brush and replace both bolts.
