surging rough ide ,shaking

I have a 2003 f350 6.0 KR with 153kms or around 95000 miles.For the last year or so what I think is called the trubo fart ..when pulling 5th wheel up hills but does not happen all the time and when I do not have 5th wheel on truck works fine up until today .Coming back from camping for a few days had a little bit of coughing farting from the truck when pushing up hills.THEN as I was backing into driveway with 5th wheel truck was running rough and shaking at idle and shook when backing tlr up.I am going to get truck fixed if I can ever find out whats going on as this is a new problem this shaking, rough idling . Would it show a code if I had it scanned?? I sure would like some help on this ,has anyone else who has a 6.0 had same problem and what did you do to correct it?? thanks in advance for any help...the winemaker

I would definitely get scanned for codes, even if the check engine light is not on.

No, no turbo fart. Mine is a bad miss, rough idle, and some black smoke along with a dead pedal at times.

Not sure what to do at this point, set it on fire maybe?

I can tell you what was recommended to me and what I have done so far.

Changed the fuel filters, remove and inspect FICM, monitor FICM volts, bubble test, fuel pressure test. All the tests checked out good so far. I am going to remove and inspect and/or unplug EGR valve even though I have a cooler delete. Then change tunes.

The shaking and rough idle sounds like a dead injector, that is exactly how mine was when I had #2 injector die. You would be amazed at how bad it will run with one bad injector. I would definitely have it scanned for codes. But you can also unplug 1 injector at a time to see which one makes no difference to how it is idling to find the offending injector.
