Question 1999 Durango 5.9L stalling issue

This has been going on for the better part of two years, and more frequently now. When the engine reaches "normal opperating tempature" it will randomly just die. Stall right out. No sputtering, no engine lights. Just sudden engine death. After 10-60 min it will start back up, usually with no indication that anything was ever wrong. Followed the advice of many techs and have replaced all of the following:

plugs and wires
crank positioning sensor
cleaned throttle body and replaced ais motor
cleaned fuel tank and replaced fuel filter-pump assy.
battery is new
altenator is working properly
cap and rotor
air filters/pcv valve

Now I am down to what, the PCM? Can I use one from a slavage vehicle? And a mopar tech told me it must be from the same year as mine, why would that matter???

Also what is this I hear about the durango motors being "sludge factories"? Any preventitive measures I should take to avoid premature engine failure on my main family vehicle?
