6.0 starting issues

2005 F-250 6.0 with cold start issues at about 60 degrees and colder. Checked FICM voltage a while back, it checked out good. Added rev-x to oil, it helped starting at 45 degree and up temps but not much at temps below 45. Appears to be stiction, anyone else experiencing this? No problem when truck is plugged in. But on cold starts it misses and smokes for 2-3 minutes then runs normal when warm.
