Truck will stall after I take off on these cold mornings, if I don't let it warm up (temp gauge needs to start moving- after at least 5 min's) and only on just the first start of each day. Then its real hard to restart after that, acts like it's flooded. Also, when it is warming up, it runs ruff, like it has a radical cam in it, up untill its warm, then it runs smooth and no problems. I've had the truck since new and it's never acted like this before. I did add the K&N FIPK this summer, could that be causing any of this? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Potential gasket leaks that seal up after warm-up. Rings expand with warm-up also any oil consumption?

Oil consumption is normal, have not noticed any abnormal oil consumption. I don't think that's where the problem is stemming. Thanks for the idea thou. Any other ideas?

I let my truck warm up for 5 to 10mins normal. I have noticed Ruff Idleing when itz cold and 2 times i had it stall out on me, then restarted like when it was cold. Also i have noticed if i dont let it warm sometimes it whats to stall out on me at stop sings or lights i can see the RMP's drop really low. I dont know if this is even related the same way to what your truck is doing but i though i would toss it out there, since i have started noticeing this i let it warm up all the time!
Guess i sould check for abnormail oil consumption more offen!

Sounds like your engine could be running lean. Could it be something to do w/ the new injectors you put in? Possibly not compensating for the increase in air mass/density?
