I hear ya Curt. I live in Illinois where there isint a hill to be found and I still get this when shifting. ON A EMPTY RV no less. When I have some time i plan on running this thing over to my mechanic to get his opinion. I am hoping that the vanes in the turbo just need to be cleaned or something like that. After all it is only a 2005 with 16000 miles. From what I have been reading these engines need to be run often in order to minimize the gunk build up so maybe that is all it is. Here is for hoping right! Needless to say I am a little worried about running it far from home until I get some answers, and that really sucks because that's the whole reason for buying one of these.

Thanks Curt
Will
