Default Ram 2500 rough idle after warm up

So this question may have already been addressed, but I don't know how to find it if it has. So my issue is with a 97 Ram 2500 V10 Mag . I just bought this Ram to pull a skid steer, and it pulls it fine. It has 140,000 miles on it, it starts fine , idles fine for 5-15 mins, then it starts to flood a little I assume ,as it will burn your eyes just a little with the hood up. It will not actually cut off most of the time if you are in park idling, although ever now and then it will die, but if you pull up to a stop light and you don't put your foot on gas just a little, most of the time it will die. For the year and price this is a solid truck, I've never owned a Dodge in my life til this one, but I like it , 4 wheel drive works great , it stops with load pretty damn good for the model, and it's got good torque, not gonna win any races but , does what want it to do . Anyway any suggestions from people with experience, I've always owned Chevy's, thanks

I think your truck has two O2 sensors, one on each bank, unplug them, and see if it runs any better.
