Sputtering cold 05 F-250

Hello and thanks to all that can help

I'll get right too it... I have a 2005 6.0 liter with 95k miles. As of the last two weeks the truck as been sputtering after a cold start when throttle is applied. Now when I say throttle, I mean anything over 2000 rpms. I can be gentle on the throttle and be fine with no sputters. Once the truck gets two miles down the road and heats up a bit.... It runs great with no sputtering!
Any ideas fellas?

PS... Note I do have a triple dog and turbo back magnaflow.

sounds like injector stication call up a dealer you trust and tell them your symptoms they should give you the inductive heat flash for the injectors, basically it heats the oil in the injectors and makes the truck run a lot better when cold, i my self had this done and it helped a lot with the colder than 32tems, also switch to a syn oil like mobil 1, rotella syn, etc. if you can.

Hmmm. Mine will not run over idle unless I cycle the glow plugs for the entire time. Any idea if the flash will solve that? Sort of hard when leaving for a fire call, and really unnecessary IMO when the ambient temp is 70*. Now that it's getting cold, it's really bad.

I'm on my third treatment of HSS and have been using synthetic for the last 20K approx.

FWIW, it's called stiction, not stication or stilcation. Probably just a typo by the other poster, but it might help clarify things.

I would think it would be under the 5 year\100K warranty yet. Not sure if deductible applies to reflashes or not.
