Default rough idle and power steering vibes

Post #1
I've got 1500 miles on my 06 4.7 4x4 and noticed that when Idling the engine seems to stutter every so often, like a rough idle. Also at slow speeds or sitting still, when I turn my steering wheel there seems to be a slight vibration! any ideas? thanks

I had the same problem last week. It was the first and only time. I've got 2100 miles on my '06 QC. Thankfully, it hasn't done it since.

I get the same thing, but on a very minor level. I think the problem is that the idle on these trucks is set so low. Mine idles pretty low. It makes it alittle rough at stop lights and signs. I also tend to think it really isn't a problem.

My 04 Hemi does the same thing but it seems to be off and on. I am at 35K.

I have an 06 Ram Hemi and it feels like it rubs a little too when I am moving slow or turning into my driveway. I often thought are my tires rubbing but I dont think that is it. Let me know if you find out what it is.

Just put our 2006 3/4 ton 4 x 4 in shop because it would shake you off the road. Come to find out there was a bulletion on it for the steering sleeve. It would only start shaking around 75 mph on the interstate. If your truck starts this bring it in! NOt something you want to ignore!

Exact same on my 05 4.7. I also think Idle too low for steering while standing. Im also just starting to get the little ***-hop of the rotor warp as I apply brakes.Dont think Ill bother with dealer on that, Ill just get better aftermarket rotors whan I have enough $$.
