Truck only has a little over 2,000 miles on it, and at idle it stumbles a lot, and almost feels like it is gonna stall... Making an appointment with the dealership now, but has anyone else run into this?

Mine will do this on occasion but only after a cold start. It’s usually a rough idle that seems to be coming from the flex pipes in the exhaust.

Mine is happening when warm, and in gear.

I get this every once in a while. Usually when engine is warm after driving quite a bit and stopped at a red light. Almost feels like a mild cam haha

So it is related to the a/c... No a/c it idles fine, regular a/c it stumbles a bit, max a/c it barely idles now. Time to bring it to the dealer I guess.

So what did you find out? Is the rough idle a fixable issue?

A little late to this thread but mine idles rough when the AC is on. Did you take yours to the dealer?
