Jumpiness at stop lights?

Jumpiness at stop lights?
Another question from a new Ram owner. When I stop at a light or stop sign, take my foot off the brake and let the truck roll forward (without me giving it gas) it feels "jumpy," for lack of a better term. If I apply the brake or give it gas it goes away. It's pretty subtle, almost like an irregular idle, but the RPMs don't jump. Anybody have an idea of what it might be? Anyone else's truck doing the same?
Thanks guys!

The torque converter is most likely coming out of "partial lock-up" at first sign of movement from a stop.
Ther is nothing wrong with it, its supposed to do that. Some more noticable, some aren`t.

Mine does the same when you let of the brake just enough to move. Has done it since new. I assume this is normal since other trucks mentioned here do the same. Also surges when going down hill in cruise control which others have said they experience the same, so I am assuming this is normal too. Truck runs strong.

Did anything ever come of this? Wakepics?
I just bout an '09 with 40K and it's doing the same thing. First I thought it was horribly warped rotors, but it only does it just as I'm coming to a stop. If I'm on flat ground or on a very slight incline, it will do it when I let off the brake, but stop as soon as I accelerate.
