I am new to this forum and new to the 6.0 PSD family. I have a 2005 with a 158,000 miles. It feels like it is missing and white smoke puffs out after the shifts only when it is cold. Once warm the truck runs good but still feels like it has a slight miss. I deleted the EGR system and changed the fuel filters and the oil. I think it is injector related but too new to diesels to be sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you have some injector stiction problems my friend! What oil are you running? Might want to look into ordering a few bottles of Rev-X.

Rotella is bad news in 6.0s

Switch to a good synthetic

i have had the same problem on my 05 146000 miles. took it to ford and they said i had 6 bad injectors. i ran injector cleaner through it before making the decision. it only helped when i had a full tank. Eventually i got all 8 replaced...runs beautifully... well till now egr blew lol. I hope all goes well for you.
