When I first start my 2500 with the 5.9, it really runs rough. A few gooses of the throttle sometimes fixes it, but it's usually several minutes of driving before it smooths out. On a few occasions, it hasn't smoothed out until it cooled off and I started it again. It's even triggered the Check Engine Light once or twice. New spark plugs and wires are on the agenda, anything else to pick up and replace to help this problem? It's annoying as hell.

Also, anyone know what causes that chalky build-up on battery terminals? I clean my positive every other day and it keeps coming back. I'm guessing the fumes from the battery are causing it--any solutions? I put dielectric grease on the terminals, so I don't think it's affecting the connection (yet). Thoughts?

Thanks in advance, guys.

Also get a cap and rotor, it's probably needed if it hasn't been changed in the past 30k miles.
