Default problems.....stalling/surging

So my 06' SRT10 QC is still the most bad *** toy i've ever had, let me get that out of the way first.
But one thing thats troubleing me and my dealership isnt completely sure what it is. Out of nowhere, she starts surging at idle between 250-500rpm, almost to the point of or actually stalling. At speed, she doesnt show any signs of problems, but coming to a stop, it'll start up again. The tough part about this is that it happens at seemingly random times/conditions. It happened for a couple hours when i hadnt driven it for a couple days (that doesnt happen very often by the way,lol) but yet i've had it sit for almost 5 days and it ran fine for days before it started up again. It's done it after being run for a couple hours, and it has happened when i started it cold where i could barely get it to start. It seems like there is no rhyme or reason to it, and it never does it when i bring it to the dealership.
Obviously, she's running on 93 (its done it when full, and it hasnt done it till a quarter tank....the gas station doesnt seem to make a difference). I thought it would stop when i got my oil changed with mobil1 synthetic at 1,200 miles, but about a week later, it started (and stoped, then started again).
I'm just so confused, i try to set the conditions for it to do it, and i can never do it if i try.
Does this make sense?
Also, i've noticed my passenger seat shakes a lot when no one's in it. Am i being picky, or is that something i should have a tech look at?

Thanks a ton

sounds like a fuel pump or filter issue to me........ as far as the seats rattling -- take it in...... you paid plenty & don't need that crap.

Default this is how you fix it

The exact same thing happen to my truck, its the idle sensor it has to be replaced. if they trying to run a diagnostic it won't show up as the problem until the truck shuts off. it seems random because its the sensor. once they replace the $5.00 part the truck will go back to idling at 700 to 750 RPM. if you need the part number or my dealer number hit me back

awesome, thanks. I'll have to get it checked out in a week or two, really busy schedule. But it makes sense.
Also wanted to note: she's been running AWESOME the past week. not just the whole stalling thing, but for whatever reason, it seems like its got a lil more pep. When a 4 speed auto barks tires when it shifts into 3rd on your way to work....it makes the work day just a little bit easier to deal with. (and makes me want to take a long trip for lunch!) I got my Dakota up to about 108mph the other day, and it just wasnt the same!

oh yeah, GO WOLVERINES!!!!!!
While my truck makes heads turn and can put on quite a show, Michigan football just put on a freakin clinic today.

the weird thing with mine, it pretty much just stopped out of the blue. I dont know if it just took new oil to get worked into the truck or what. But about a month after my first oil change, it stopped stalling or surging and hasnt done it since, with no work done to it besides that oil change. So i have no clue, lol
