Default Idles great, drives horrible?!?

I have a 1997 ram 2500 with the 5.9 in it. The truck idles like a brand new truck but when i give it any gas it bogs down any bearly stays running. I already did the idle air control motor (i think is the name) on the back of the throttle body and i also did the throttle posistion sensor. But it runs exactly the same. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
