small shudder when turning ignition off

5.9L works fine in all respects, gets rave review from diesel shop. They say it has had some minor retuning. When turning the ignition off, there is a slight whump shake? Has anyone else encountered this?

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

If my memory serves me correctly, when the 3rd generation of Rams first came out that there was one or two threads with similar questions. Agian, if memory serves me correctly, the consensus was that this was normal for the 5.9 Cummins.

There is alot of compression in the engine and it stops suddenly. That in turn causes all of the accessory drive to stop slightly later giving you the little thump, a belt chirp and a shake.
