some suggested trying to disconnect ICP sensor IIRC? And others said it was injector...

Sounds like your mechanic did a half way job on your repair, consider returning and asking them why did that not fix it.... or go elsewhere ....

what area are you in ? maybe someone can suggest a good repair facility...

How is that misinformation? it is common for the headbolts to stretch, if that weren't the case people wouldn't be switching to studs.

You need to have it scanned again for codes. Did the dealership install the injector or YOUR mechanic and are you sure he put it in the correct cylinder? #1 is passenger side front on a 6.0. How long has it been driven since the injector was installed? It may take some time for all the air to get worked out of the system before it runs perfectly. Lets take this a few questions at a time and we'll get it figured out. Sometimes 6.0's can have multiple minor problems that cause "major" issues. Loss of power at startup still sounds like an injector issue. Please be patient--forum diagnostics can take time.

I am relaxed and dont take things so personally. I could tell where the thread was going and thr OP was clearly getting frustrated. It only takes 1 misinterpretaion from 1 phrase to get the " you shouldda bought a V-10 or 7.3" thread rolling again.

There are too many of those, and besides he will get more help down here with us anyway.

So no hard feelings. If I came across a little harsh I appologize to everyone.

6.0 diesel

Thanks for all the help....and someone just pegged the answer the diesel mechanic that came highly recommended replaced the #2 injector on the left side instead of the #1 injector on the right side..now they are saying the #5 injector is bad also, any suggestions...also someone stated a relay could be going bad?

My recommendation would be to take care of the injectors before doing anything else. Injectors can cause other problems, and yes it's possible to have multiple injector failures. I've had as many as 6 go out at one time (way back in the day though). An injector can be marginally working and not throw a code. It sometimes takes a GOOD tech with an IDS scanner to know how to find those weak injectors. It's better to do 2 at one time (1 and 5 are on the same (passenger) side) than to have to go back and do another teardown. I'd make the "highly recommended" mechanic pay for his mistake and while he's fixing #1 he can replace #5 at the same time. I would NOT remove #2. OR you can use the good injector he removed instead of purchasing another one. Still IMHO he owes you an injector.

When you get the injector problem taken care of and the truck is up and running THEN you can check for bad sensors or relays. Remember.........it can take quite a bit of time to get air out of the high pressure oil system to the injectors, so don't be fooled by a false code.

Hopefully it works out for you. If you can find out what flsh you have it may not be the inductive heating flash. You may want to pay Ford to get that flash if you dont have it. Its supposed to help with some cold start issues and it also cycles the turbo during ildling to prevent sticking and a few other things too.
