not specific to dakota.
if stalls when pressing brake, look at leaking vacuum brake booster
vacuum leaks
pull the vacuum hose off the brake booster, plug the vacuum line, drive the truck somewhere with no traffic (your neighborhood) since it will be hard to brake without the vacuum assist.
less likely since idles fine in park :clean idle air control valve so you can move the plunger in and out by hand smoothly
don't replace anything unless you diagnosis shows it's bad
