sputter/blue smoke

Ive started having a bad sputter until truck warms up. then it smoothes out a bit. blue smoke everywhere! Ran scanner, it claims #5 injector. But here's the catch, when Im towing something it runs fine. anyone seen this before?

I had a similar problem when I didn't plug mine in during cold weather. My diesel tech (yeah he's a Ford service tech) noticed it and reflashed it. That solved my problem. I've got one of the real early 6.0s (nope, never had a bit of problem with it...at 129K miles now) thats my daily driver.
