I know I will prolly be crucified by some when I say this. but just for ****s and giggles I threw the old filter to the side and reinstalled just the wix cap(no filter) and started the truck. fired right up and idled ok(still had a little bit of a stumble but nothing like before.)

WE Wouldn't Do that^^ LOL But the IPR might need to be checked Now! If the SCreen for the HPO Reservoir has Never been Changed odds are High its Got Holes and Not filtering good
How Often do you change Oil??
Get it All Changed back to OEM (FORD) OIL Cap and Filters andStick with Those
All theses After Market Filter co Have really caused a Huge Mess and to be COMPLEATLY HONEST Fu!KED up ALOT of TRUCKS

ok well update:
changed the oil today. put in a mastercraft filter and new oil filter cap from ford.
put in 3 gal. of rotella T6 full syn.
added 2 qts of Hot Shot Secrets Stiction Eliminator
Also added(heres where it gets interesting) messed up my math numbers and thought a qt was 16 ounces annnndddddd its not lol. added 32 oz of Hot Shot Secrets Diesel Extreme.
Trucks running like a champ now(I happen to think better than when I bought it) BUUUTTTTTTTTT
it smokes like a freight train. Gray smoke when idling and solid black when giving it throttle. but doesn't smoke when I crank it with a cold motor. only once it warms and I bump throttle.
possibly just cleaning out or is it burning the extra diesel extreme out. or something else??????????
by the way it was for sure filter media floating in the oil. not a lot though.

Have you cleaned the EGR Valve??
It maybe a sensor that controls the turbo do you have a Gauge
Smell Like Fuel in the Exhaust Burn your Eyes
That EGR Needs pulled and checked
Do you drive this truck like this??

no have only had the truck for about a month. haven't gotten to all that yet. it still seems to boost fine...
I literally just ordered AE from Riffraff not 15 mins ago so that I can start monitoring these things better than with the ScanXL I have.
I was gonna pull EGR valve today but thought twice about it when I realized I ddint have new orings to put it back in.

no the filter pleats started to come apart. when I got it home Friday I pulled the dipstick and saw what looked like trash so I pulled the filter cause I new I could catch some oil there before it drained back down. and noticed the pleats coming apart. not a whole lot but enough to scare the beejebus out of me. when I drained the oil today I strained it as well and got just a little more. plans are to run a week or two depending on what I come up with on the smoking issue and change it again just to flush anything out of it that may have been hung up. at that time I am gonna do a maint treatment on the stiction eliminator

my question is will it hurt to run it another week or so. I was planning on swapping with the wife(she only drives 20 miles a day round trip opposed to my 65 mile days) and this weekend have the orings for the EGR valve and maybe even get parts together to pull the turbo down and clean it up

Right if let filter media go down thte Center of the Oil Filter it Goes to another Filter that Almost Always Blown Out if its Stock and onto the HPOP
Not saying that's the Problem but it is Something to consider
Does it Surge High Rpm on its own or Idle High than normal??
