95 dodge Ram Hesistation

From : bart

Q: i have a 95 dodge ram 5.9 l 360 that hesitates when slowing down backing up or taking off. it doesnt always do it but the rpms dip low enough that it dies sometimes. also when slowing down the rpms dip low enough that it losses enough pressure that it makes my breaks feel like they are going out. it has done this since i have owned it. i have taken it in before to a couple of different shops and they couldnt figure out what it was. i have replaced o2 sensors the idle speed motor plugs & wires and air filter. to me it seems like an air or vaccum problem but honestly i have no idea it is just really annoying. let me know if anyone knows the real solution to the problem. .
