Default Rough idle

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.2 l in it. When you start it up cold and let it run for about 2 minutes it starts running real rough and then will smooth out 5 minutes later.I replaced the rear 02 sensor because I had code for it,but that didn't fix this problem.Any ideas

Replace the front O2 sensor. NTK or Denso only please. Skip the bosch sensor, our trucks don't like them.

Hay Dodgemann11 I have an '01 ram 1500 with the 5.2 I myself, I put the both bosh sencers up and downsream in several month a go and my truck hasn't skiped a beat sense HayYou doesn't seem to know what he's talking about and my truck was doing the same thing yours is doing until I put a bottle of royal purple fuel cleaner in the gas tank. Try that or think about replacing your injectors
