please help!! egr issue.

i know theres a ton of threads i could read on this subject but i get easily distracted and off topic (ADD) so im just gonna ask for info this way. i have an 04 with 54000 on it and was towing a camper to an event up here this weekend when after 45 min or so we stopped, i let the truck idle for five and shut it off. waited for a buddy for 15 then when we went to leave my truck threw a P0404 code with a check engine lite. so we reset it and went on our way. then the truck starts running rough and blowing black smoke if i wasnt staying on the throttle a lot. it would dog and not boost then come out of it and be fine as long as i kept driving hard. eventually it threw the same code again with a P0405 code. so i got through the weekend and got it home tonite. took out my egr valve and cleaned it til it was spotless, put it back in and went for a rip. took a few minutes but then it threw both codes again and now a P0405pd code as well. dont know that much about the 6 liter, only had mine since january. can anyone steer me in the correct direction? thanks for the help in advance and happy fourth guys.

I think you need to change your egr valve

P0404 C* Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit
Range/Performance
+/- 0.10 EGRP error from commanded to actual EGRP
during normal driving conditions.
Faulty EGR sensor, valve or PCM integrity of EGR position circuit.
P0405 C* O R Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit Low EGR is disabled when EGR voltage is less than 0.30 volts. EGRP circuit short to ground or open, defective sensor
