Default 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L

For about 5 months now I have been having problems with my truck. It started as little issues that slowly got worse. The issue I am having is when the truck is idling, it starts to shake the whole truck and sounds like it is bogging down low enough to where it might just turn off on its own. While still idling, I have slowly turned the wheel and notice that it boggs down even further and all the lights begin to flicker. I have changed the spark plugs and the coils, but they did not help at all. So I have taken the truck to 2 local mechanics only to tell me that the check engine light code was a cylinder misfire(P2305). I then took it into a dodge dealership to hopefully be rid of this issue. They changed the PCM and told me it should be good to go. $1200 later I am still stuck with this problem and unsure if any mechanic near my home knows how to fix my problem. Luckily my truck recently threw a new code at me. I left my truck running for awhile after reseting the check engine light so that it read that nothing was wrong. I let it run for about 10 minutes when it started to shake and bog down as usual. This time it threw out a code P0300. Then when I drove it around for awhile it also threw out the code P2305. I haven't looked too much into the P0300 code yet, but I am looking for some information that will help me out before deciding to take a chance and spend more money on a mechanic. My truck is currently in the worst shape it has ever been at. I am struggling to get it over 15 mph, but once I get to about 25 mph it runs just fine. However once I get to a stop sign I have to deal with this issue all over again.

I am sorry to hear the idling issue is not resolved. The dealer can check for possible service bulletins related to the issue. Per the service manual, the following items are possible causes for the P0300 code:
(A955) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT
INJECTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT
COIL CONTROL CIRCUIT
SPARK PLUG
IGNITION WIRE
IGNITION COIL
FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER PLUGGED
RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE
FUEL PUMP MODULE
FUEL PRESSURE LEAK DOWN
FUEL INJECTOR
ENGINE MECHANICAL PROBLEM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Hope this offers some information that you can review with the dealer. You mentioned a few repairs already performed that are on the list.
