Runs better when cold

[Cincinnati Guy]

I dunno why but it seems my truck has more get up and gooooo, when its first started in the mornings. Before the truck has time to get up to operating temperature. Anyone able to take a stab at this one?

i think it has to do with the timing advance solanoid being energized. but i could be wrong

That's my thoughts too. Advanced timing.
I don't get onthe go pedal hard till it's warmed up anyways so I've never noticed that.

when ever my truck is cold it is a loud ass slug of a truck. it is SLOW, and really roars.

mines the same way and my cold advance don't work. i think its something with the when your oil is thicker has better oil pressure and the turbo spools up better when there is better pressure to it. cause my turbo will just about whistle when its cold and dont once it warms up and my oil pressure drops

My truck dose the same also on a cold morning even after a good warm up it runs out the gears faster. Colder air condenses better!

cold air, cold fuel, advanced timing. Might want to get your timing checked

So where are the pictures of the rims on your truck.

Timing or what about little cooler oil giving a little better compression, cooler air helps for more dense charge.
If I had to pick one I would go with timing, after everything warms up it could be "less" advanced overall.
