Loping on Startup

I've got a 2000 F250 7.3 that lopes on startup no matter the temperature. It also is somewhat sluggish getting up to speed. I was wondering if this could be a weak hpop causing this. Thanks for the help in advance.

I hooked a code reader to it. The truck has no codes.

I haven't done the filter for awhile. I changed it last time and it was still loping then. If I tap the pedal I have to keep pressing it for a few seconds and it stops.

Lope, schmope. Let it. It won't hurt anything.

If you have a real problem with it, change to a lighter DIESEL-RATED oil.

All caps for a reason.
