Intermittent hard start, misfire/stumble an blueish smoke

[Fastnova1976]

2003 f250 125k just bought it a month ago an has gotten progrssivly worse over the last 2 weeks... What i have going on is when i start it cold in the am it puffs one time a little blueish white smoke an always idles very sligtly funny, it will then run fine up to about 2100 rpm an misfire an stumble an blow that same blueish white smoke out unless i mash the pedle down then it just goes. Also if i rev it up in park it will rev to 2500 an just pour whitish lue smoke EVERY time. It will get better as it warms up doin it like 80% of the time but never completly goes away. I have totally deleted the egr system an added hot shots secret about 150-200 miles ago i installed a 4in complete exhaust, checked ficm voltages hot cold and while its misfiring, i tried sea foam in the oil and inthe fuel filter housing an all sorts of diesel additives im going crazy here if someone could give me a shred of hope id appriciate it!

Also for some reason, i took it on a 500 mile trip last week an only on the highway (at highway speeds) it NEVER smoked or missfired once, only at slower part throttle speeds at the above mentioned rpms??

An all day job for someone who has never ripped into this engine before. You need to get a monitor in the truck for live data to see if you can source the problem. Do you or anyone you know have auto enginuity with ford expansion pack? If not you should take it to the dealer to have them scan it or spend the $400 on the ae setup so you have it for future reference. But a monitor in the truck at all times is a must for every 6.0 edge insight cs/cts, dashboss, scangauge II, or torque setup for android devices. You need to monitor the engine vitals. Also more info on the vehicle is needed such as mods/etc.

I have the AE setup but dont have the cash at the moment for the ford license.... An the trucks bone stock other than the blue spring upgrade i did two days ago, a ebay special egr delete kit with up pipe, and a 4in diamond eye exhaust turbo back no cat with their muffler, other than that that is all thats done... An im getting no codes

You need to get the ford expansion pack or take the truck to the dealer so they can live monitor the engine vitals to narrow down what the problem is. Especially since it gets VERY expensive VERY fast with these trucks when you start throwing parts at a problem hoping it fixes it.

Weird too because it ran fine with it unplugged. It was just extreamly sluggish an the turbo was wacked out boosting all the time an over boosting too
