last couple weeks my truck has sounded terrible on startup.. I don't know if it's the cooler weather coming in, or if it happens more when it's wet or damp? it seems like when I try to record it it's almsot non-existant or barely happens.. but I have sort of cought it twice on video now.

anyone have any suggestions before I bring it to the dealer and look like a dummy because they can't replicate it?

Mine did the same thing. Dealer had to update the computer. That’s it

As a followup, the dealer did a PCM flash from a TSB 18-051-17

Seems to have fixed the idle at start, by what appears to me as just making the idle sit higher for about 5 seconds
