I have a 2015 EL EXT that when in gear idles rough at around 500 rpm. Then when I release the brake the truck lunges a little as the rpm goes to around 1000 without touching the gas. Anyone have this issue and or ideas of what the cause might be?
Thanks for any help.

How many miles on the truck? Probably time for a spark plug change. Could also be a dirty or bad throttle body I believe there was a rash of bad throttle bodies in the 15s but most were discovered and replaced while still under warranty.. .

I had the issue and replaced the plugs at 53k and issue was solved.
My gaps were out pretty good especially the front 2 cylinders.

I wonder why those two. I thought the plugs were inserted by robotics but maybe there is another reason?

Front 2 banks also had a fair amount more carbon build up than the rest.

thanks. Dealer just called and stated it is the torque converter grabbing and will be replaced. I will do the plugs as well to avoid any issues in the future as my truck has 46k on it.
