Default '07 Hemi rough idle

I have an '07 1500 QC 4x2 w/ 5.7 Hemi, I just turned 7000 miles and it's started to idle a little bit rough at traffic lights, and stop signs and such. Tach doesn't show any variation, but you can feel it. I thought it was bad gas but we're on tank #3 from 3 different stationsnow and it still does it. Any experience with this?
Thanks!

Try a couple of cans of Fuel injector cleaner. Like Chevrons Teckron. Comes in a black can. A little extra won't hurt it.

I noticed the same thing I only have 5000 km on my 5.7 and there is no movement in the tach but it seems to run a little different now . maybe that is the way they are suppose to run going through there break in period ??

Mine idles a little rough after it's warmed up at lights and stop signs also. It's not bad, just seems like it doesn't idle high enough a bogs a little bit. I really didn't notice it until I put aftermarket exhaust though...

Mine does the same thing. 6k miles for me and it seems to be getting worse.

My 06 has the exact same problem. I'm only at 21K miles. Dealer gives me no help, they just tell me its normal. I've tried a complete fuel system cleaner and no different. I hope that as stated above, maybe it needs to be flashed? I'm traveling to another dealer for a 2nd opinion.

There seems to be numerous postings of various gremlins in the 06' and 07' 1500 MDS Rams; are they really that touchy? I have been very pleased with the 05' Hemi Ram but Ihave major concerns about future newer purchases.

This subject came upin another forum. Aparrently somebody contacted a chrysler engineer and he said to fill it up with 87 octane fuel and it should help.
