Has anyone had TSB 18-055-17
Rough idle at cold startup, preformed on the 2017 Ram 1500? Mine does this on cold starts then goes away after about 15-30seconds. Truck runs fine, just annoying.

I have the same issue. It sounds worse on mine because i have an aftermarket exhaust so it is a little louder. Runs great but annoying as all hell...

I noticed this a few times on my truck, wish I would have seen this the other day when it was at the dealer for the latest recall...

Ill take that a step further...its not the idle thats rough, but more the acceleration during the first 5 or 10 seconds on cold mornings after the truck has sat all night. Sometimes it would stall upon letting off the gas and making the first stop. Starts right back up and is completely fine after that....until the next cold morning of course.
