Rough Idle

Through the past 12 mo. when I stop at red light, stop sign etc. my truck starts
to idle rough and rocks the truck. This has only happened 3 times during this 12 month period.

When this happens I put the truck in neutral and race the engine to no more than 2000 rpms for just a few seconds and it quits. I have never experienced this before with gas engines and this is my first diesel. What would be causing this?

I drive an '06 F250 6.0 CC FX4.

Thanks for your help

Could be a lot of things - EGR valve possibly. Take it in and get it checked out. How many miles on the truck?
