No, That is way too much. Filter is not doing it's job. What does the turbo wheel look like.

Are you running a stock air box?

Yes, I am. Was told I didn't need to change it because I have a bone stock truck and the stock filter would do fine.
Off topic here for a second, when your remove the CAC tubes, do the charge air boots come off or stay on?

Well you are looking at just exactly why the stock air box is NOT fine. If that much gunk in in the intake tube you can just imagine what all else went through to the rest of the intake and engine.

Yeah I see that. That will be next on the list with fixing four wheel drive.

I leave my tubes attached to the CAC. I only loosen the clamps on the IC and spider then remove each CAC tube (with the boots at each end) as a unit.

Passenger side valve cover, do the heater hose holders come off somehow? Is there a hold down bolt under them?

They're just push down on studs you just have to kind of work a little bit and pull them straight up off the bolts

I got it all tore down and ran it for a short while to watch things. Everything looked in sync. Didn't see anything bent or burned. Haven't gotten to tighten the bolts down because I found that my wrenches don't go down to 10 foot pounds, I thought they did. Oops. Gaskets and harnesses looked good too. Is there anything else I should look for? Short of pulling the injectors out.

Sigh... ignore the 10 foot pounds for injectors people have told you, a FOOT pound wrench will not be accurate enough to trust on injector bolts at that low of a setting in its range. Get an INCH pound wrench with 120 as near midway in the range as you can. Especially since you need to start at 50 INCH pounds to find out if you need to replace injector orings. How would you set a Foot pound torque wrench to 4.8 foot pounds?

On injector hold down bolts. Are there one or two per injector? It looks like there's an identical one on each injector closest to the center of the engine. But they are under the spigots.
