Dodge Ram 1500, 76000 miles. About 25% of the time, the truck, after starting and running fine for a few miles, will begin to "chug" and lose power, nearly stalling. Engine will revv-up when the accelerator is pressed, but idle remains very rough. Does not usually stall when this happens. After a few minutes, sometimes as much as 5, it will work itself out and usually run fine after that. Occurring more frequently lately.

The battery was disconnected about 4 or 5 months ago for service. However, the problems didn't happen right after that... maybe started a month or two later.
