2003 6.0 misses when warm???
#5
I have a sct programmer , it's cylinder 4 ..every once in a blue moon 5.. they are 155cc injectors and a new ficm from kt performance here in central Florida. It will idle fine sometimes after sitting and idling awhile ..but as soon as there is a load on the engine when warm I get a miss on that or those cylinders, fuel pressure maybe?

Do you have ARP head studs? It isn't outside the realm of possibility that you have a bad injector, even if it is new. It probably wouldn't hurt to have a chem test done on your coolant to see if you have a bad head gasket, which may or may not be causing compression loss when under a load. My 6.0 ran fine until I towed and it started over heating with a bad head gasket. It never missed due to that. However, I did have to replace the injectors back in February. When they were failing it was intermittent where it would either run like a bat out of hell or it wouldn't.
My local shop did the chem test for free and it took about 5 minutes.

Possibly or a FICM, but I see you have a new one. I'm just guessing though. Maybe move a the harness around at #4 and see if you can induce the issue under different conditions.

You need an actual scanner, something like Auto Ingenuity or a Snap On Solus to buzz the injectors, but IDS or a clone would be better to also see an unbalanced contribution test to check the injectors. I would think there's a small outside chance it's the o-rings on that injector, either on the injector or the nipple cup, but that might would show up as an ICP/IPR% issue if it were bad enough to cause a misfire.
Short of trying to access the correct diagnostic tools, swapping the injector to another hole is a next step; that will let you re-ring it and check the wiring for it. The injector harness from the FICM to the injectors is important to check, a bent pin in one of the connectors or wire chaffing is common enough.
