turbo problems?
Well i just finished a 3000 mile trip towing about 6000 pounds. When i got to Nebraska , the exhaust started to give out alot of white smoke. i thought it was my trailer brakes so i rushed out of the truck and realized it was coming out of the exhaust pipe. my truck should no sign of a problem , except i had been losing power on hills and higher egts, the smoke mainly comes on a lift of the throttle or a hard turn. i plan on removing the turbo and the pedestal and replacing the pedestal with the delete valve and adding the wicked wheel 2 after i reseal the turbo. any other sugguestion??

Sounds more like fuel starvation to me. If the fuel filter is old, change it. Have you done the hutch mod to the tank? Clogging screens in there can starve at times of high consumption. Put a hose on from the end of the fuel drain pipe to a clean container, key on the fuel pump and observe the flow. Pump will run for 20 seconds or so, then stop if engine is not running. Should be substantial flow, if not check the filter and screens in tank.
No experience with it myself, but I understand a cracked injector nozzle can dribble fuel and cause similar symptoms. But let's eliminate the cheaper options first. Plus more ideas will be flowing in...
