Oddly enough, I'm having a similar problem as Richard. It's not nearly as
bad
as yours though, Garret. Mine started it in November when I put in the
Mopar
PCM. It doesn't do it with the stocker. I chalked it up to more
timing/fuel,
and it's not bad enough to annoy me. Kind of like Richard describes, it
sounds
like it's got a bad ass cam in it for about a minute after I start it. Then
it
settles down to normal. I know Richard is running the hipo PCM. Do you
have a
Mopar PCM, Garret?
