I would almost bet there are other issues and that is why it was for sale as a deleted truck.

does your state do emissions on diesels?
Im in FL so not really

Besides throwing black smoke, does it run well or not so good?
They did, but I was told to get the Ezlynk unit for easier troubleshooting. I don't have any check engine lights on the dash. The truck runs well If I baby her does have some turbo lag and rolls coal once I hit 2500 rpm. If I leave it running in a parking lot, I can smell the fumes from the other side of the lot. Also, it gets 10 mpg. Once Im on the freeway though she glides smooth no smoke.

Well good to hear no CELs. Or you could have a "race" type tune that puts out a lot fuel...

sounds like you should return it. diesel trucks deleted (*properly) run great. but you were given a deleted truck and no tuner. you dont even have access to the OEM stock tune.
