My 05 Hemi is doing the exact same thing, and when I was out for lunch today everytime I came to a stop Id tap the gas and it would idle perfectle around 600. I just cleaned my TB a month or so ago, and I changed the EGR about 2 months ago, so I guess I'll check the PCV valve. Let me know if you figure it out!

low/rough idle
I was having an issue with that but mine would also die when I would come to a complete stop. Dodge asked me if I had had any transmission work done recently and I had just had it serviced. They told me if the trans filter wasn't seated perfectly it will cause the truck to idle low, rough or even die when I'm stopped. We got in there and reseated the filter and refilled with fluid and everythoing's fine. Hope this helps.

That's a good find. Did they explain why the engine would have the low idle?

Yead they did, because the filter wasn't seated properly it wasn't shifting into the right gear. Almost like driving a standard and stopping with it in gear instead of neutral without pushing in the clutch. As the idle would get low enough it would kick into first but the idle would still be low. It was really wierd.
