Missing when below operating temp.
I have been noticing that my truck (108000 miles) has been missing and running rough (somtimes even surging) untill the engine warms up (eot above 160) Any idea on what could be causing this?
FICM readings are all good, batteries are new. This will happen when i start the truck in the morning and its in the 40s or if I park it for an hour and it just cooled off a little.
thanks for your help.

If the truck runs rough when cold but gets betters or even clears up completely once it's up to full operating temperatures I would suspect an injector issue. Unfortunately, this is quite common with the 6.0L platform, it could be a problem with just one injector or multiple units...

fuel pressure is 62 and will drop to 58 when accellerating hard towing 10K
I have noticed that when it is cold (not at operating temp) my fuel pressure seems to bounce around.
also this morning when I started the truck it ran fine for the first 30 seconds then it started to miss slightly/shake/run rough

So is there any way to tell which injectors are being problematic? Once I am done work I will check the oil to see if the level has risen or if it smells like diesel.
thanks!
thanks!

I checked the oil and didnt smell any real strong diesel scent, I then checked the oil level and it seemed like it might be a little high. I do have almost 4000 miles on this oil.
