Some have found by going to synthetic has helped the cold start issues. I went form the Motorcraft 15-40W to plain Rotella 15-40W and started having cold start issues. Changed to Rotella Synthetic and it cleared up again. Then when the colder weather came I started having issues again. If you are having some cold start issues go ahead and put it in now and see if it improves. If you still have problems it could be a bad injector.
Do you know What Oil you currently running? Adding the Rev-X may extend you oil change too.

I was told that the amsoil could be ran up to 25k or 1 year as well. thought it sounded a little "out there" so the first time i put amsoil in it, i took a sample every 5k and had it tested up to 25k. all was good on each report, so i just run it 20k and change it now.

May have found out why my Turbo has been working better with the Rev-X. Got my Oil Analysis back before adding and this is what they said.
From Blackstone
The high copper and lead readings would initially suggest a serious problem developing in the bearings, but these levels of metal also tend to turn up when Restore additive has been used. If that is not the case here then this 6.0L may need some attention. All other wear metals read right around universal averages, which are based on an oil run of about 5,200 miles. The oil's viscosity was quite low for 5W/40, reading more in the 10W/30 range. No fuel was present, and the TBN read strong at 7.3, showing lots of active additive left. Let us know on the Restore.
No Restore has been added.
Maybe the bearings in the Turbo. Going to dealer to have it checked Monday if they are open.

Donedunit - interesting... How many miles do you have on your truck? Keep us updated with that.
