Totally missed the fact that he said he just got his first diesel. I think you should go through and replace both fuel filters change the oil new oil filter check all fluids. Its a good idea to wright down the mileage. Since this is your first diesel you need to know the 6.0 can be really crabby if you neglect the fluids/filters. stick to the oem filters too if you can.

Well, if you are going to clean the EGR, might as well park it nose down and let it sit a spell. Then when you pull the EGR valve you can check for fluid in the intake. Probably nothing in there, but good time to check.
Good place for filters.

what does your boost guage on the dash read, it should vary considerably with engine load, at WOT it should cimb as high as 28psi, highway cruising mine hovers around 13psi, at idle is should be down to zero, also make note that without it in gear the boost guage will not move much even though you rev it, is normal.
visually inspect the wire going to the trubo make sure it is seated properly,
i have to be honest, the thought that popped into my head when i read his post was egr valve also
