Could be a number of things really, valve train, injector, where in CT you from? Bring it to my dealer I could plug it in to see what cylinder is the problem.

This may be a silly question, but how low were you on fuel? If it sloshed enough in the tank when you launched it, there may have been air bubbles that got caught in the pickup tube. Even a small amount takes a while to purge. and it would have a rougher idle, and cackle a bit more.

Hi All just gaot back from SD had the EGR cooler go bad, Truck had lot of white smoke at start up but would go away after warm up. Took it to the dealer in Sturgis SD and they replaced the cooler under the 5yr/100K mile Emission Warranty Truck ran great all the way home.
