NOW THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE LIKE ITS ABOUT TO DIE AT IDLE BUT WILL NOT, WHEN IM DRIVING IT SEEMS FINE, JUST AT IDLE IT SHAKES AND IDLES ROUGH.. THE GAS MILEAGE IS CRAPPY AND THE EXHAUST HAS BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT SOMETIMES AND IS BURNING VERY HOT AND WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE EXHAUST IT SEEMS AS IF ITS POPPING. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NEW PLUGS, SUPER CLEAN TRUCK, EVERY RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW, HAS 99K ON IT.....PLEASE HELP!!
