Start with having your batteries load tested. It might not be cranking fast enough to start. Get the truck code scanned. Most autoparts stores will do it for free. Check your FICM voltage.

There is a no-start trouble shooting thread in the 6.0 forum tech folder that will help you immensly.

do you have any gauges???????????????

This 6.0L has ALOT Going ON so need gauges to check it out

A ScanGaugeII is a Great Gauge for cheap

www.scangauge.com

Give it alittle time the Techs are still at work or coming home

But without any Gauge all we can do is guess and your Gona need DEEP Pockets if were going to Guess

What do you mean by getting worse??????? Taking a LONGER Crank to make it run?????

And how about some more Info like
Maintenace
Year
what have you checked already??
fuel filters
last oil change did you use OEM oil filter and cap

Did you get the FICM tuned with the Atlas 40 tune that guy offers? If so, did you notice a difference in throttle response or overall acceleration/power?
