If it's the twin turbo version... assuming it is being 2013... I have recently had a couple of those with higher mileage on them 175,000 and up .. The pac brake on the exhaust started hanging up and chokes off exhaust.. The one had a sticky air cylinder the other one I ended up replacing the paccbrake assembly to fix it...

The one would barely come off idle for a few seconds and the other one ran but had low power... neither one threw or stored any codes for this issue

As far as rough idle or just off rough running,, lol when mine are not warmed up they sounds like a 2 cylinder JD engine for a few minutes until they start making some temp... and seem to be rougher running engine all the way around IMO

I agree with the egr valve sticking open, could also be dirty egr coolers and aftertreatment system.
