28 degrees F. Cold start problem 6.0 powerstroke 2004 Ford Excursion

[FordsAreSick11]

Jorge it does that because diesels have a glow plug that heats the block to keep the diesel and trany warm so it starts if it has 360 days of heat and 5 days of exstream cold it messes up the glow plug

Plain and simple your not getting constant fuel!!!! Its a bad pump!!! Or possibly oiil injector pressure control sensor

[Jorge50505]

@bobcat198423 then how come once its warm it runs flawlessly its only on start up when its cold it does this

[f350powerstroke]

Check the volts on the ficm, add rev-x to the oil and get rid of that programmer and airfilter ur using

[06dirtyblack]

Ficm

[TheFtp1234]

I meant to put without plugging it in

[TheFtp1234]

Had the same problem with mine it was a bad ficm now is starts good in cold weather with plugging it in

[ericeddy1976]

you have injector stiction, or a high pressure oil problem

[Jorge50505]

@ericeddy1976 probably right, cuz we added way to much lucas oil stabalizer in our last oil change but we dont own this truck any more but maybe others will learn from this.

Powerstroke's hate cold starts, plug er in.

[Jorge50505]

@Eriic9104 thats the thing it didnt have a plug

[e36bimmerfan]

it's a FORD.... get a CHEVY.. problem solved ;)

[Jorge50505]

@e36bimmerfan and truth is we just traded the ford in for an 2008 2500 silverado diesel with the regency package lifted rim tires its nice just that it has a 20ish gallon tank and gets 12 mpgs but im changing that number soon

[e36bimmerfan]

@Jorge50505

Chip it, the tow tunes on most chips will give you a increase in mpg...

[Jorge50505]

@e36bimmerfan it is hypertech but we dont own this truck anymore

[HaZeMySt]

Have you had a lot of problems out of your 6.0? thanks

[Jorge50505]

@HaZeMySt ,,well yes and no, but we traded in the truck :"(

ok at about 70,000 miles(currently 128,000 miles)

something was causing the truck to lose power at highway speeds so we took it in to the dealer and there they put brand new injectors, turbo, fuel lines, and fuel pumps at no charge since it was under warranty and it seemed like new after that....since, no problems(until now) been to the dealer for service about 3 times in a span of 6 years overall our longest lasting truck we have had
