The vibration!

Ok here is the deal. 99 cummins auto. When I'm sitting at idle. 900 rpm. This vibration comes and goes comes and goes. Like clock work. Now if I raise the rpm too 1200 and hold it nothing happens. So I don't think its a bad nalancer. Any ideas?

Nope it was warm. Truck seems little weak but it sits 90 percent of the time. Not sure what to think.
