Perhaps the EGR valve is stuck open and that is where all the exhaust is going instead of the turbo.

When my EBP sensor went out, I could do maybe 10 mph wide open throttle while belching black smoke everywhere. I checked the parameters between the BARO, MAP and EBP and the EBP was way off compared to the other two. I didnt throw a CEL but I didnt scan for codes either. Was going off of symptoms.

As a side note, the fuel in the fuel tank has been in there for a week and 400 miles. So I do not think its bad fuel. Edge Insight showed several codes, all EGR related and one that said something about minimum turbo boost...
On your Other Thread the EGR was unplugged, did you unplug and see what happens .HMMM there must be a tunner on this truck? If the EGR is in by hooking it back up mite have open or closed it ,I would pull it and clean with carb cleaner, ware some glasses it will burn your eyes, M-chan, benny ?

A stuck open egr valve will cause those symptoms. If the valve had been disconnected for a long time, and was recently plugged back in, there may have been a build up of carbon that got stuck in the valve.

The egr valve is pretty easy to remove with an 8mm socket, extension and ratchet and a large pair of channel lock pliers.

To you and I, it may be relatively easy to remove, but to someone inexperienced it can be a bit of a chore if it's really stuck in there.

That's true. Some of them put up a pretty good fight, especially if they have never been out before.

I know I will catch some hell for this but the way I got my EGR valve out was with a pair of 16" channel locks, by grabbing the metal sides and pulling while twisting.

Ding, ding, ding!!!! Thanks for everyone's help. After reading the posts, I thought about it and agreed that the EGR valve may be the culprit. Back down to the parking lot I went with the tools and an attitude. Twenty minutes later and a clean EGR valve, I was on my way. Back home and it was operating as it should.

Thanks for everyone's insight.
