Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Picked 'er up yesterday afternoon. Been driving all over the place since 
Got lucky that my dealer was able to find this one at another dealer in NY. Seems that a plain-jane, reg-cab, long-box 4x4 with NV5600 is hard to find :-laf 
This is my first new vehicle. I'm pretty stoked. 
Here's a couple of pics:

So, after driving it for a while, she has about 500 miles now, I've got a couple of quesitons... ... ...
1 - When I get on it some (1/2 throttle or better) the turbo surges a bit. About 1 huff per second or so. The sound is gradual, kind of a smooth woosh woosh. It will huff two or three times and then smooth right out. Is this normal?
2 - There is some noise coming from the transmission. (at least it sounds very much like it's coming from the trans) When I'm in gears 1 - 4 or reverse it's making a sort of gear rattle growl sound. It's not particularly loud, but definitely noticable. It's most pronounced when at or below 1500rpm and there is a load on the trans. If I just let off on the throttle and coast, the sound goes away completely. It makes the sound at takeoff in 2nd as well. It also makes a very similar sound when idling in neutral although it's quite faint then. Is this normal for the NV5600?
cheers,
Sean
