Please help - BEGGING !!!!!!
awesome man. Fairy tales exist. Im actually working in Oklahoma right now and live in pennsylvania with my wife who I moved up from Texas. She grew up in wyoming. Thats almost Canada.
Sorry I do not have any help with your issue. Nice to chat though.

I have only been on here a short time but I have seen at least a half dozen threads with this same problem. I have had a 5.7 and a 4.7 each have shown the same symptoms but had a different issue.
Here is what I would do.
1) Check all the vacumn lines first. I mean really check them. Visually and with a pump if possible. Cost is nothing, unless you need to replace, then hopefully your problems go away.
2) Clean that throttle body. Use a full can of carb cleaner and a toothbrush to get all those hard to reach places. Only cost is a toothbrush and admit it, you need to change it anyway, and the can of cleaner.
3) Check and change those plugs if needed. Make sure the gap is correct and just visualy inspecting those plugs will tell you a lot about your engine and how it running. If you need to replace them, then they are pretty cheap also.
4) After that check the fuel delivery, spark delivery, and all the sensors one at a time. Many times you can check the sensors using a volt meter, take advantage of that as it can save you $20-30 here and there instead of just changing them.
Good luck!

Well I'd start with the absolute basics:
TSBs #08-024-04 & #18-013-05 both deal specifically with idle fluctuation and stalling issues on '04 & '05 Rams with Hemi engines. One specifically updates the PCM while the other deals with updating the FCM. Have these been performed on your truck?
I'm not going to go read back in the thread about it, but have you grounded the throttle body yet?

Well what i'm going to do this weekend is remove the throttle body and clean it to hell and take out any sensor i can and clean it and check every f__ken hose there can be and see if that helps. If not i going to stick a bomb in the tail pipe.
What difference would it make grounding the throtle body now it was running fine before.
Could a sensor on the trans do this at all?

OK, I have just noticed somthing that it only seems to HAPPEN when its cool or wet and raining out so is there somthing i should be looking for that would make it happen.
Being that it only happens when it's cold or wet out. I would think it is a faulty or loose connection to one if not multiple points on something like the TPS. I found a similar issue on a buddy's 2500 It was idling rough and stalling randomly. After he went through replacing every sensor he could (waste of money on most) We went through and checked/cleaned every connection under the hood. It took us about half a day and a case of beer. Although I am not sure which connector actually caused the issue because we cleaned and re-crimped as needed on all of them. The stalling is GONE!!!! and he says it actually runs better now. It's a bit tedious but it worked.
Oh and the bomb in the tailpipe would just make it really loud

Goint to take this afternoon and start looking at conectors undunder the truck and also going to see iff there is some kind of silicone spray to seal them afterwards so water cant get in.
