Oh and my 08 used to do that. I was kind of put off by it, but got used to it because I always had the power when I needed it.

I remember it being an rrt-tsb whatever on the early builds. Spark knock/rough idle. Fixed by reflashing the pcm with new software. Supposed to correct the idle by setting it to 600 rpms. This is all if memory serves me correctly.

This is the only place I have found that specializes in DCX (Daimler Chrysler Corp.) custom computer tunes that is recognized by other Dodge enthusiasts. This is new to me being a GM guy in the past and this is my first Mopar vehicle.
I haven't called them yet to see what they can do on the 09 Rams or even if they've been able to hack into the new computer system. Do they give you a reflashed computer or do you have to send your ECM in? I do see if you have a DiabloSport handheld unit they will download their progam in it for you.
That my friend is where you can get a custom tune.

One thing I noticed on the Ram I test drove was the idle speed, it was aroud 500 (if I can trust the RPMs on the dash). I thought it seemed low, but did run smooth.
This truck was NEW. The dealer just got it a little over a week ago. It did not come from another dealer. I suppose it could have been sitting in a lot at the plant for a while though.

My truck was built in 10/08 and sat until 3/02 (I've got water spots to prove it), so it was an early build. Maybe there has been an upgraded program change in the later builds. I did take my truck in for a recurring check engine light and 4 Rapid Response items came up, maybe one of them is for the rough creeping.

Mine is a 12/08 build and I bought it on 3-23-09. Mine does not do it. I do not know if it is because mine was built during the magic month of 12/08 or not. I will check the rpm tomorrow when and repost.
