Default funny idle then stalling

i posted a while back about a funny idle when starting my truck after the engine is warm. it is still doing this occasionally but now when it does it if im in reverse then go to drive it stalls. any ideas on what this is? also i just did my cat and now my downstream o2 is going, gave a code p0139. is this a common issue when the cat is replaced? by the way its an 03 dakota qc slt 4.7L 4X4. thanks
