When hot or cold? Just start or been doing it for a while? Miles and use of fuel additives? What's the "rest of the story"?

Probably the fuel pressure regulator. Mine does the same thing. Mine hasn't gotten bad enough for them to replace it either. I think it is more of a I haven't found a good enough tech that can tell I'm right yet.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley18.gif

I'm with Chuntag on this one.

Mine runs rough when cold (big lope see the oil pressure bounce with it) and when warm will do it too but just not as bad.

Dealer says in spec but eventually it'll be bad enough to get them to fix it.
