rough idle
 
got home from work this morning...noticed that during idle it felt a little bit rougher than normal...not a lot a rpm movement but can feel it in the cab...its not that bad yet but is this a sign of future injector problems, something else, or not worry about it.

Drain the fuel bowl to get any water out of the bowl and see where that leads you. Just go to wal mart or somewhere you couldn't give a crap about, open the hood and open the bowl valve and dump it right on the ground, close the valve and drive away. Ok maybe not, but try cleaning the fuel bowl out and maybe a new fuel filter.

haha good idea but i recently changed the filter and drained the bowl...the tach doesnt have much movement at all...but i can notice a stutter when listening to the exhaust and like i said i can feel a slight shake in the cab that i didnt have before. im not real worried about it yet but im curious as to why

Drain the bowl and throw a decent injector cleaner in it and see where it takes you
