Rough Idle

When I first start my truck in the morning it sort of idles real rough. As soon as you put your foot on the pedal it will stop and not do it anymore. It is a 2004.5 model. Any clue what this sounds like before I call the dealer to take it in. It will only do it when it is cold.

Thanks for the replies. I guess mine is the only one doing this.

It vibrates a lot. It just started doing it a couple weeks ago. As soon as you give it fuel it doesn't do it anymore. Some of the people I work with are having the same trouble, they think it is the low sulphur diesel.

I have had mine at the dealership 6 times and no fix yet.
They told me dodge has come out with a new "fuel system service" which they "cleaned the fuel system".
When the truck idles for a few minutes the idle will rev up to 1000 rpms and idle very rough.
Every time I go to the dealership to pick up the truck after the latest "repairs" the engine will idle rough, they say they can't get it to do it but when I show up TADA!!!
last time I buy a truck there
