03 6.0 Powerstoke issues

I have a 2003 6.0 at low speeds or from a takeoff. It just has no power, it pretty much crawls from a dead stop until you put your foot into it. You hear the turbo spoil it after 2 or 3 seconds it launches. And then between 45 and 65 miles an hour it shakes very aggressively but doesn’t stall. But the top speeds it runs great has complete power and no further issues. The truck also dumps tons of black smoke at all speeds. Also, the truck takes forever to start, and after starting it dumps out a bunch of white and gray smoke.The truck is still all completely stock still has EGR, Doesn’t throw any codes and I have done a buzz test on the injectors and they all buzz very strong. I’m out here seeking a vice before digging into the truck or sending it to a shop.

Time for some injectors. If you can swing it, replace all four on that side.

If you plan on replacing with rebuilt Motorcrafts, Fullforce Diesel is the place to go.
