Question 7.3 missing when warmed up

I have a f250 2002 7.3 97.000 miles and recently i got a check engine light and the engine started acting like it had a miss you can realy feel it in overdrive and reverse. When the truck sits overnight and cools off and you start it it runs fine untill the motor gets about 1/2 way warmed up then it starts missing again. its looks like an electronic problem because the engine temp. affects it like a expantion or contraction on a faulty electronic component could a crank or cam senser cause this problem without causing the motor to die ? I luv my truck but this stinks ! To much computer stuff on a diesel !

If you think the 7.3 PSD has "to much computer stuff" [sic] then don't get a 6.4L PSD.

Have you had the truck scanned to see what error codes have been issued?

What do you mean "its looks like an electronic problem because the engine temp" [sic]? An engine running rough when warm could be a lot of different things not related to the electronics, like an injector, the turbo, a head gasket or a fuel pump.
