What would cause this???

I've been looking at a truck for sale (2004 F-350 6.0 auto). Whenever it's started cold the truck lopes and misses like it's only running on maybe 6 cylinders. After it warmes up, the truck runs fine but it seems like it takes forever, at least 6 or 7 minutes. Anyone know what would be wrong with it? I've never owned a powerstroke...or a diesel at all, but I have been looking at diesels and this is the only one that's done this. I test drove a 7.3, and it didn't skip a beat whenever I started it, ran like a top...same thing with an old 2 stroke detroit 3-71 that was in a 70's model F250, like I said before this is the only one that's done this...

I asked this on ford-trucks, but didn't really get a really big response out of it...maybe I was asking the wrong questions... I don't know

Can you guys help me out with this? He's asking 12,500 for the truck, you think that's a good deal?
