Default idle vibration

At idle I have what I can only describe as a slight vibration. The idle is a little rough. Is this typical for the 3.5 EB?

I have also noticed this. After starting it up I can understand a little roughness until it settles down to 750 or so. But I also do notice a shudder almost like an old muscle car when the big lobes of the cam cycle.

Its rhythmic like smooth-smooth-smooth-stutter smooth-smooth-smooth-stutter smooth-smooth-smooth-stutter smooth-smooth-smooth-stutter

Reminds me of my 69'camaro with a big ole cam

Seriously. It's an odd idle issue and I noticed it yesterday. Almost similar to my f250 with a bad coil on plug or clogged injector.

Same here.

Whatever, warranty if it becomes an issue anyway, I guess. It definitely has no problems on the road.

Mine did the same thing tonight. I was messing around with sync with the engine off and decided to start the engine to stop draining the battery. I felt it more than anything. It was actually gently rocking the truck. When I reved the engine a bit it seemed to smooth out. Kind of weird.

Easy big guy, here's your hot-rod

Mine does it a little when the RPMs drop super low when i am stopped at a light in gear. Not a concern for me.

Yes, I have noticed that with my 2.7 eco boost. It is very light. Is this normal?


Anyone check this out with their dealer?

I've mentioned it to my dealer on my 3.5 EB. They said it was normal.
