    Hi,

    I used to drive a pete with a cat and now drive a Columbia with a Detroit (s60).

    on shut down, it seems kinda ruff. It almost sound like i ran out of fuel. (not the case) It kinda shakes the truck. Im shutting down from idle (around 600 rpm). is this normal? Also if i turnt he ley to the on position (engine off) and then turn it off and take it out the truck makes a woosh sound. Is that normal?

    Thanks

    The "swoosh" sound happens when your gauges return to zero shortly after turning the key off, right? My 05' has done that since day one. I think it's normal. I hope it is.

    Do you get a lot of shake when the engine comes to a halt? Is there a significant vibration when pulling really hard, that comes through the dash?

    Check the rear motor mounts. If you ever do a clutch, go the extra effort and change the motor mounts.

    I have an 05 Columbia with a Detroit and when I shut down for the day it is rough too. Your rough might be different than my rough but I think it is normal.
