Sluggish for about 5-10 miles......Exhaust burns eyes

[Dan"gerous"]

I've had my 6.0 for about a year now with zero issues so far. I have just under 120K on the clock and am wondering if it's normal for it to run sluggish for about 5-10 miles? I'm running rotella 5-40 synthetic and just changed the fuel filters. I'm also running sct tunes. To verify it isn't a bad tune I set it back to stock and it still ran sluggish. Also; she puffs white smoke for a few minutes when 1st started and the fumes burn your eyes.....Any suggestions?

I thinks all is normal, diesels like to be warmed up to perform and I also noticed a richer burn idling with my SCT

I think you're probably right but that doesn't go for all diesels. I just bought an 09 VW TDI Jetta and that thing purrs from the moment she springs to life.......

mine just seems to shift better when the trans warms up a bit. Maybe thats what your feeling?

i had the same problem right after i got my arp's and egr block plate installed. My FICM was burned up and it was replaced under warranty. it freaked all of my injectors out and caused it to smoke

FICM, Fuel injection control module?? How do you trouble shoot this?

Do you have a good scan tool that can monitor live data??? If so check for codes, both foeo and koer. Watch the icp voltage and ipr %. Bust most importantly watch ficm_mpwr should be 46.5 to 49 volts. (spec is 48v) Also watch ficm_lpwr and ficm_vpwr. They should both be about charging system voltage. It does kinda sound like you have a failing injector or ficm. Also if you have a p0611 and or all 8 injector codes its almost a sure bet your ficm is toast.

Over my head here...What could I expect a shop to charge for diagnosis and repair?

[WEWILLE]

We charge about an hour for most no start diagnostics. So id bet youd probly pay under 100 dollars.
