Yea, everything seems fine. Im pretty sure i have some injector problems, so it could possibly be that. In the morning when the truck is cold, and i have to go up a hill leaving my street, the truck surges around 2000 rpm, but when warm there are no problems

Well thats not necesarrily good, but its not bad because i was already expecting to replace injectors this fall. Ill stick with that, my truck seems to boost fine. When i am googling this, most people seem to be expierencing a low power situation as well, and lots of codes

It could be lots of things Miles, and I certainly wouldn't rule out the turbo either. But as Andy said if you're not seeing anything more than some smoke I wouldn't put the money into it.

I did not have any codes.
It would just have no boost when i got on it and then off like going up an on ramp.
It would then smoke like a fright train for a few seconds.
I was also getting some surging.
But it was dirty when I pulled and rebuilt it and added the billet wheel.

Wellll you'll have to talk to the folks at ihop about breakfast but we'll all be there at breakfast time.

Or I guess in your case it'll be closer to lunch but either way...
