HOLY SMOKE BATMAN!!!
Thanks to all who gave input during my HPOP woes. After replacing the fuel line that I doinked and one last trip to the dealer for seals on the other fuel line that decided that I need just one more small project before all was said and done, The old girl runs like a champ!!! Funny thing is that on my last OA , they found aluminum and copper to be on the high side, and thought that could be from piston wear. Since then I had started noticing a lack of power, and also the fact that when I had her tuned all the way up, I wasn't getting any black smoke. Well, the HPOP must've been going bad for a while, because the old girl was smoking more than my wife does and had ALL kinds of power. When I got home from my test ride, I got out of the truck with a smile on my face. The wife asks, "What's wrong?" I reply that my Service Engine Soon light was on, she says, "sonofa... now what???" Then I remind her of how the light goes on from too much turbo boost, so it's a good thing for a change. She still doesn't understand why I'm the only one she knows that's happy when the light comes on.
GIDDY UP!!! Thanks again everyone!!

I didn't know this either. I hammered down the other day with a trailer in tow and was bellowing smoke when the light came on for about 30 seconds then went off. I didn't pull the code but everything seemed ok to me.
