Default 2001 1500 Ram Magnum sport 2 wheel drive losing power

Hi everyone. First let me say that I am not a gear head at all so I am completely lost.

As the title states I am losing power and it runs really rough sometimes to the point that the truck actually starts bucking. Usually when going 25-35 MPH. If I take my foot off the gas and immediately put it back the engine will smooth out for 30 seconds or so then it starts acting up again. I've also noticed that when the weather is cool it runs MUCH better but when it starts warming up(65 degrees) it starts acting up again and the warmer it gets outside the worse the problem gets.
Now, I have had it to three "mechanics" and they all tell me that since there is no check engine light and no codes they won't touch it. WHAT??? Are you a mechanic or what? sorry sir, can't help you.

PLEASE help this has been going on for a year now and I am at the end of my rope and any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply Matt..

like I said before I am not a gear head so there is no way I would try to fix it myself but at least I can check to see if the Plenum really is the problem.

Thanks again.
