My truck has been running fine until I noticed something yesterday morning. I went to crank it up in 30 degree weather and it had an hard crank and then belched out white smoke for like 15 secs and then the smoked stopped. After that it ran and crank fine for the rest of the day. Today I go out an try to crank it and it started for 2 secs an then die, so at this point im confused on what the problem is. So its been towed to the local ford dealership,but I was wondering could you all give me alittle insight on the problem?

Not Yet......

There are so many things it could be, hopefully it's not to expensive, keep us posted, do you have any kind of monitor on it?

[06superduty3997]

I hope its to something bad either,but I was going to buy an monitor for it this week,before it went out.

Load test batteries, check ficm. Is your coolant low? Get a monitor!

Yeah, what Southend said.

It was my FICM it had failed on me.

Thanks for the update. Better load test your batteries, bad batteries kill ficms.
