I have a 2005 F250 with the 6.0 diesel engine. I just recently started having problems with the truck not starting backup on a warm start. Of all times it started after my 100,000 mile warranty was up. It's funny how that happens. I took it to Ford and they said my fuel injection control module was bad and replaced it for $1300. The very next day the problem is still there. It's hit or miss to. Has any other 6.0 diesel owner had this problem and did you get it fixed??

I have a fried who had a similar problem, his truck was running on what felt like 4 cyl's,he changed the Injector Driver Module and problem solved.Bring it to a shop and get them to put it on a scanner to make sure,hope this helps.

Go get it scanned
Mine did the same thing,
Bought it out of state drove it 600 miles home fine... next day took the wifey for a coke and it wouldn't start.

Had a cracked hp oil line under the valve cover. Shop installed a retainer kit and it fires cherry every time.

Sure wish I had a cracked hp oil line, I was way down on power onday and it would not start the next. HP oil pump costs 674 dollars and 12 hours labor to replace. All totalled should come out around 1900 bucks.

I have a 2006 ford 6.0l 6 speed manual trans with 50,000 miles I drove it then I parked it and went to start it back and when I turn the key over everything does fine then I turn it the rest of the way and everything shuts off... but 20mins before that it ran fine

I had this problem. I kind of ignored it. This however was the beginning of the end for that motor. Make sure that you check your antifreeze level constantly. Probably a good idea to change it for new as Ford recommends that it be changed at 100K miles. Use only Ford antifreeze. The EGR cooler is dying on your truck probably allowing a small amount of coolant into the intake on shutdown. That accounts for the smoke, and no power but once it warms up all is hunky dory, but the problem will get worse. I'll give you the advice I should have taken, and a 25 year ASME approved Ford technician gave me, sell it quick. Buy a Dodge.

I also have a ford 2005 6.0 it runs great... but sometimes when you shut it off it will not start back it just sits there and turns over... I had it towed to ford dealer and they said they couldn't find anything that it starts fine with them,, so I go get it back keep it two weeks and it did it again... so I had it towed again to ford... and again they said it cranks fine... any ideas

I have a 2003 F-350 with the 6.0 diesel and oil is getting into the radiator. Any ideals?
Thanks,

benco1, it may be transmission fluid, due to a leaking transmission cooler in the base of the radiator.
