2005 6.0 when start / cold it starts great but it has no power and blows white smoke until it gets up to running temp after that it runs great. any suggestions what it could be??
Just changed all 8 injectors and harnas and cheked the ficm all the fuel filters oil and everything. When we try to rev it the icp pressures comes up slowly like get stuck at 1300 and then revs. When it gets to operating temp the truck runs good but still a little lazy. Could itbe the oil cooler plugged? Btw no codes

If it smells like fuel, you've either got defective injectors or improper installation. New or used injectors? If used, did you replace all o-rings and copper gaskets? What did you torque them down to?
