help! v10 black smoke

Hey guys, so I just bought a 2002 v10 crew cab, everything great form the first 3 months, but then my coolant sensor stopped working, changed it, and the same thing! Only works a couple of times, and the truck started to rough idle a little, and now I have black smoke coming out of the exhaust!

Welcome to FTE jcV10.

Black smoke means too much fuel, or not enough air.

I seem to recall reading about V-10's hydro locking due to fuel injectors that leak excessive fuel, so get to the bottom of the black smoke ASAP.

Did you get or have a MIL (check engine light)? Have you had the truck scanned, or are you just throwing parts at it?
