Injectors?
I have an 06 F-350 CC LB 6.0L w/ 103k miles. Here's the problem... When I intitially start the truck either in the a.m. or after it sits for a few hours it's angry. It compares to when it's cold out and you forget to plug it in. Along with that there's just alittle bit of white-"ish" smoke from the tail pipe. After I let the truck sit about 10 minutes idling, it runs fine w/ no smoke. This is doing it even when it 97*F outside. Would like to hear some thoughts so I know where to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

fire85 are you loosing coolant? or any pushing out of the cap?
I agree on the question, how long are you on the oil? what kind? and how long do you go on the oil changes?

No loss of coolant and nothing coming out of the cap. As for my oil change it's at 3k-5k miles. I'm getting close to the 5k since my last oil change. I have the stuff do change it at home and plan on doing this tomorrow. Also, I'm using Rotella T and ,this is gonna sound bad, but I think it's 15w40. I will check tomorrow when I get home to see what I have.

A scangauge is very well worth the money. I found all kinds of issues that I otherwise had no idea was going on. An excellent tool to keep tabs on the health of you 6.0. If your not losing any coolant and remedies such as rev-x and synthetic oil make no difference, then I'd say your FICM is suspect. It's an easy do-it-yourself fix.
no worries!
