2005 ram 1500 idle issue

Hi Scotty, I have my 2005 ram 1500 5.7 and once it warms up it has issues dropping idle to around 500-600rpm when at stop signs and parking lots and my problem is when i go to turn it boggs down and almost dies. I don't think this is normal? 121k miles. Any thoughts???

For vacuum leaks and how to find them, see Scotty’s videos below:

I'll give it a look, I just cleaned the throttle body (pretty dirty, the map sensor), map sensor (don't have a mass air flow), and the intake air temp sensor. 

Any ideas where vacuum leak could be? I know the major routes on an older truck but not as they switch to electronics.

Thanks Scotty!
