Try www.superdutydiesel.com. You'll get better advice without all of the bashing of 6.0 engines.
Those guys at TDS whine so much about their 'lemon' trucks (which I bet they don't even HAVE) that I'm tempted to send them a wheel of Wisconsin's finest.
As for the advice that you drive the truck for a few hundred miles after a reflash or a computer replacement, that is sound advice. It takes that long to get the computer to dial in all of the particular parameters for your specific truck. But a dirty or defective injector is also a possibility.
63K on my 6.0 and ZERO problems.

You are so correct. It's a conspiracy by Dodge owners and the CIA that have infiltrated the TDS. Everyone knows that Ford trucks are perfect and problem free, especially the 6.0 PSD's which are the most perfect of them all.
My 03' 6.0 had this exact problem and it was the bad EGR valve, cracked vanes and reprogram the computer. I gave the truck to my brother at 80,000 miles and now he has 140,000miles the only problem he's had is the starter went bad.
