It usually runs very well it only started to do this a few days ago. Whenever i start to slow to a stop or take my foot off of the gas it starts to bog down like it wants to die but as soon as i stop in full the idle picks back up to normal. I have no idea what it could be so anyone that can help please let me know.

Your fuel injectors might be dirty or you need a tune up like changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires. Try doing both it probably needs it anyway and it's a lot cheaper then trying something extreme

You're truck has a throttle body that probably needs the AIS (automatic Idle speed) system cleaned . It's bolted to the rear of the throttle body with 2 torx screws. remove it and clean it and flush out the mounting hole with throttle body cleaner. Then spray some down the throttle body to clean the coke (sludge) around and under the throttle plates. If this doesn't clear up the problem, you will need an new AIS motor. Your's is sticking. If you do have to change it, it's supposed to be run ( idle) in drive with park brake on , AC off for 5 minutes. this is to let the power train assimulate itself with the new AIS motor. Most guys don't do that, but Dodge says you should.

Have your ECG valve checked. If going bad, it can lead to a number of things, including sputtering, etc.
Some oil change places will hook your truck up to an Engine Check computer for free and it will diagnose some stuff, including the ECG valve.

Is your check engine light on? If no don't waste time or money getting computer scanned
Sounds like a possibility that it could be a vacuum leak
