I bought a new 2500 Bighorn with the 6.4 engine in November. I have 6240 miles on it as of today.

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that if I don't warm it up with the remote start as I leave my house or office and the extra time it takes to put the seatbelt and my phone in the charger it often bucks and the idle races. Today it was particularly bad and I started looking for causes. I am about to do my second oil change and came upon the thread about Lubegard. I looked it up and the one they make for Turbo engines they described in a video almost exactly what I have experienced but the one people are using for the Hemi tick doesn't talk about it. The first oil change was with Mobil 1 0w40 Euro and ordered the Euro Castrol Edge today to see if the idle will be quieter. It's much louder than my 14 1500 with the 5.7 but I wouldn't say I have the Hemi tick.

Has anyone else experienced this and what was the solution? Do I have a real issue or does it just need to run a little longer than I have let it sometimes?
