Rough idle in cold weather.

So here I am again with yet another problem on the loveable 4.8...
I've read some old threads on this but I'm just not convinced yet.

When I start up in the morning in cold weather the idle is rough and it shakes the whole truck but if I rev up slightly it runs perfectly. It only lasts until I drive away or if I rev up a little then it goes back to normal.

I'm sure some of you experienced something similar...

Check out Part 13 on each side of the Valve covers. If these diaphragms are boogered up with cheese or torn, it will give you rough idle when cold. I had the same problem... Replaced them, and problem no more.

I get this rough idle on cold morning occasionally too. Generic OBD scanner gives me a Cylinder 1 misfire. The first few times it gave Random Cylinder Misfire and the light would flash. Now the light will come on steady and give me the Cylinder 1 code. Plugs are new, I've swapped around the coil packs and the same issue remained. Shut the car off, restart and it runs like a top and the SES light goes off a few miles down the road.

Can they just be cleaned? My guess is they aren't that expensive and worth changing? Would you have the part number handy ( i'm at work)

They can be cleaned so long as the spring is still ok and the diaphragm doesn't have a tear in it... Otherwise, they are cheap enough to fix. PN 11127547058
