Less Power and slugish when cold please help
I got my first diesel about 4 months ago and love the truck, but the truck milage has seemed to go down, and seems like I am blowing out white smoke. The turbo will fart every once and awhile and if I step on the truck ,takes a long time to get rpms up then just jumps up. The truck runs great once it is good and warmed up, but is a dog when it is cold jerky and no throttel response. No mods. Any help would be great.

truck is an 04 with 155,000 miles, no coolant lose runs good when it is warmed up. Its just wierd if I leave the truck sit and step on it's really slow to reach high rpms then just jumps like turbo isn't winding up quick enough. I am just new to diesel and want some info before I take it to a shop don't want to get scamed no codes or lites only mod is 4 " magnaflow exhaust no chips.

When you say no codes, did you use a scanner? The CEL doesn't have to be on for it to have codes stored.
I recommend starting with the FICM test that is listed in the tech folder at the top of the page when you initially get to the forum (it says read first).
You just need a #20 torx bit, a voltmeter, and someone to turn the key.
There is no magic answer for the issue you describe. It could be several things that need to be eliminated. One step at a time.

EXACTLY
you will have 40-50 possibilities depending on year/pcm stratigy
it will store 24 or so gauges just program the ones that you want

The SG only sees what the PCM sees
so there are no factory senders for EGT,Fuel Pressure so you have to start from scratch on those
Like Edge insight has an expansion port for those IIRC but doesnt get neer as many gauges as ScanGauge does
With a SG and EGT,Fuel Pressure on the pilliar or whatever you have the truck pretty well covered
