I posted this in the NO eng/trans 3rd gen but I think it has something to do with the engine now! Check this thread out and read down to my second post.

What do you guys think?

I have the same problem. It started after pulling a backhoe 50 miles and up 7000 feet. It would happen when ever the RPM would drop below 600, starting or even when the engine would surge after sliping the trans out of gear when bracking to a stop. It started at 5000 mile, last april, but I have not noticed it for three months. I haven't changed my driving style so maybe it was the trans breaking-in.

would you say that it just happens when your loaded down heavy with a trailer or have you noticed it empty as well?

Sounds like Flatudiesel Syndrome to me Matty. Too much methane held in suspension in your diesel. I heard it was caused by storing diesel in a tank that once held cow manure. Let it sit overnight and slowly loosen the fuel tank cap while sniffing at the opening.
