Where are you located? Is it really cold where you are? Could be a number of things, we need more info about the truck though... is it stock? Blowing smoke or anything?

Could just be an injector failed. Have you tried getting any codes read? Could be as simple as the ICP sensor acting up too.

How rough is rough? I broke my flex plate recently and the entire truck was shaking in park. Though, I couldn't restart it once I shut it off.

Test your FICM first, easy to rule out and causes lots of headaches. Could be any number of things, but you probably need a better scanner to pick up the codes.

How far are you from these guys: Welcome to Power Stroke Enginuities

They're VERY well versed in powerstrokes and reasonably priced as well. If nothing, they can probably read your codes for you.

there is a sticky at top of the 6.0 section on how to test FICM, I think it is going to be a dead injector but test the FICM first.
