Rough Runnin And No Startin

JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE HELP? MY 05 6.0 WILL NOT FIRE UP NOW. THE LAST TIME I GOT IT STARTED IT LOPED REAL BAD WITH LOTS OF BLACK SMOKE, SO THEN I TURNED IT OFF. TRIED AGAIN, TURNS OVER, ACTS LIKE ITS GONNA START WITH MORE BLACK SMOKE BUT NEVER WILL STAY RUNNIN. A FEW DAYS BEFORE THAT WHEN COLD (20-30) IT WILL KIND OF START ROUGH WHEN I DONT PLUG IT IN BUT IF TRY TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT IT BEING WARMED UP IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GONNA DIE. THEN I PLUGGED IT IN AND WENT TO LEAVE AND DID THE SAME THING ONLY NOT AS BAD. NOW ITS SITTIN AT THE SHOP. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

What type of oil is in the truck and how old is it. It might be the problem.If you do a 6.0L forum search on engine oil you could read for days.

I would run something thinner than that in those temps and synthetic if its in the budget. Locally the ford shop puts 10-30 year round. When was the last fuel filter change,the filters need to be clean with cold fuel. Have you looked at the EGR valve?
