7.3 Sounds a little funny when settling to idle then smooths out. Normal??

My new 95 PSD sounds a little funny when going from high RPMs down to idle then after about a second it settles and resumes a nice smooth sound. Is this normal? It also sounds this way when I first start it. It takes a second to find a nice smooth idle. Both events sound the same (like it's fishing for a second to find idle).

Is this normal? This is my first Powerstroke. So far I love it! Much more power and better build quality than my old 6.2 in our Suburban. And... it sounds like a diesel should sound in my opinion.

thanks,
Nick
