Check engine light rough idle

Just drove around with the family going shopping. Mix of highway and side streets. Pulled into parking lot and put in park and family noticed truck vibrating while idling.

I gave it a little throttle and it evened out, but still odd. Then when we went to leave, check engine light came on!

Driving home about a mile you could hear rough glub glub engine sound when giving it throttle.

Thoughts? Is there a way to get code from truck? Any tips I should try before bringing it into dealer?

Most autoparts stores will read the code for you, free.

I had the exact same problem on my 2019 ram 1500 limited a few weeks ago. Check engine light and it was running rough. Took it to the dealer and they quickly diagnosed it as a bad fuel injector. They had it replaced within a few hours. They said they have seen a fair amount of 2019's come in with bad fuel injectors. Its a quick fix but a major inconvenience. I was trying to decide if I wanted to get a tow or drive. I live about 12miles from a dealer and I drove it to the dealer going about 25mph. Anyways, that was my experience... Good luck.
