Default slight idle shake..

When i come to a stop at a redlight or some sort my truck has a slight shake while im in drive and pushing the brakes, idling, is this normal? I think it even does this in park at idle, if it is given any gas it is steady. Is there something wrong or it this normal?

Mine does the same thing. It seems fairly common. Its not as rough if the A/C-Heat is off.
Running fuel injection cleaner through a tank of mid grade gas might help.

Ok ill try that. I just did a full tune up thinking that would help but it didnt.. Not a big deal, the shake is so subtle.

Its the beast shaking under the hood!

No seriously though, mine does that sometimes, just a quick vibration then goes back to normal, it is nothing that bothers me, if it does it more often, I will begin to look into it as an issue.

they run like that, you can try cleaning you trottle body and mass air flow but after a week it feels the same.
