Default Jerks at acceleration

Can be traveling 50- 65mph at around 1500 rpm. If i ease into acceleration the truck has a noticeable hesitation/jerk. But if I accelerate hard it has no issue. It does not always do this. Truck info is 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. 200k miles

How old are the O2 sensors? Try disconnecting the front O2s, and see if the problem goes away.

update: I took throttle body off and cleaned it real good. So far so good. Havent had any jerking or hesitation issues but it has only been a few hours.
Now the next issue we have been dealing with. Sometimes when we come to a quick stop the truck stalls. No warning lights come on and all gauges look normal. Truck will restart immediately with no issue. This doesnt happen all the time. Just here and there. It also stalls sometimes when the truck has sat at idle for a long time. Its frustrating trying to chase these issues down.

I don't know if there is some flavor of 'idle learn procedure' for the newer trucks.......
