Help missing/cutting out in 5th gear when cold

I have a 2003 ford f250 6.0l, torque shift trans. 01/03 build date. When it starts up white smokes rolls out. when its cold it cuts out or misses in 5th gear with low throttle or just cruising. when heavy throttle is applied or let off of throttle it quits. Once warm does not seem to do it at all. I have changed all fluids and filters, had ford update the computer, replaced cylinder 6 fuel injector, tested the FICM and voltage is normal. Would some one please help and shed a little light on this for me.

what is your "normal " voltage" for the ficm..
did you check it at koeo, cranking and at 2k rpm?
sounds like an injector failing.

The FICM voltage is 47.4 koeo, 47.8 running, and 47.8 at 2500 rpms. No codes poping up at all. Sorry it took so long to get back busy week

Or at least a new injector. But they are not that hard to change really.
