Default Tune up advice

Ok, I was wanting some input from anyone who has had their Durango for awhile. I got a 5.9, 2002 durango recently and have replaced the exhaust and cleaned the intake control valve and throttle body. It still is running a bit ruff, especially when letting my foot off the brake and starting to roll. But I don't notice it at higher speeds, just as I am starting to move. I have run some fuel injector cleaner through it also. I am not sure if the the plugs have been replaced recently or not, but the wires are black and say mopar on them if that means they are original, I don't know. Anyway, I am not sure what to try first: sparkplugs, cap, rotor, and wires? Replacing the TBS, the ICA? or all of these. I hate to just go and start guessing, but I also hate to take it to anyoneandhave them charge me an arm and a leg for a part and it not even fix it. So if anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Get your battery checked... especially checked as if it were "underload". When you find out it's bad and you get it replaced and then your problem goes away, just let us know

Sorry for my inexperience, but what does the battery being "underload" mean?

It's a little box that hooks up to the battery that has big resistors (I think) in it to simulate a "load" like you are running the starter. It willshow the voltage drop while under this load. If it drops too much, that means the battery is dead. Most auto places (Auto Zone) can check your battery like this for free.
