is this with the 8 speed? it'll jump a bit when it's cold, just have to wait like 2 min and it's good

it is yes


yeah it's normal then. the 8 speed has lower gears and when it's cold the truck will idle at a higher rpm until it warms up so it's pretty much the same as applying the throttle while putting it into gear
