UPDATE on runability issue (last week)
Brief description; shuttering when O.D. engaged then eventually total loss of power with a lot of blue smoke.
1) removed and cleaned the turbo (no change)
2) replaced faulty T-stat (running much better now)
3) replaced HFCM (smoother running)
4) replaced faulty EGR valve (running real well now)
Still haven't installed a fuel pressure guage (that will be next)
Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this.
Tim, the phone call was very much appreciated, it helped me to think through this thing more clearly. Thanks!
