sluggish driving
For a few weeks now my truck has been really sluggish on startup. If I don't let it warm up atleast 10 min it will have trouble shifting, accelerate really slow. When I start it. It will sound like the engine is going to die. When its warm it will run great. What could it be? This is a 06 f250 6.0

I had similar issues I initially passed it off to the y-pipe turbo connection that I don't have in proper. But I was re-ringing my injectors just as routine maintenance when I was done, holy crap what a difference!. The truck no longer needs to get warm (120 EOT as needed before) to get moving, and it accelerates like a champ now.

I ordered the kits from here thats one kit per injector
Basically you remove the injectors and replace all the O-rings and reinstall them. The one in the top is the most difficult if they are non-Alliant injectors. Takes a lot of effort to remove that retaining ring, so much so gave up on a couple.
The second link has pretty good instructions on removing them.

If you do rering your injectors, make sure the injector cups are clean, make sure you can account for all of the old copper washers and make certain there is no oil in the injector clamp hold down bolt holes, just blow it out good with compressed air. If you leave oil in the bolt hole you will not get proper seat load on the copper washer and they will not seal.
