All of the Magnum engines (3.9/5.2/5.9L) will have the occasional
"shake"...but that is actually normal. I have yet to see one run smooth
enough not to shake a martini on the airhat. ;) (Unless you're running
poly or metal mounts or course)
Easy way to tell is watch the mis-fire monitor with a scanner (year
depending). If there is an occasional mis-fire, it won't show up as a code
if it's too random.

Subject: DML: Checking for mis-fires....
I have a fellow who seems to think my engine maybe "occasionally"
mis-firing at idle.
"HA!" , i said. "my baby mis-fire". "no freaking way". "are you high?"
anyways,
i mean i can see it running and I dont see anything wrong. it idles fairly
steady at 700RPM
What do you do to verify an engine is mis-firing? even if it mis-fires
"occasionally".
wouldn't you see it move a bit? wouldnt it throw an error code? or does
it have to
real bad before you get an error code?
