spewing black smoke?

I have 85,000 mls on 05 6.0 dsl the other night while towing my trailer i noticed a loss of power after about 3 hrs of driving. when i left a stop sign i had no power( motor loading up).
as motor ramped up power came back? Now it is doing this all the time.
At low rpm it spews black smoke and has no power, as the rpms go up the power comes back fine? this is my 3rd pwrstroke and i have never had this happen?

I'm going to guess that your turbo vanes are stuck so you aren't getting boost at low rpm.

You might have better luck with this question in the 6.0L forum a little bit further down on the main forum page.

I think Beerstalker has you covered. Turbo vanes are sticking or the VGT actuator is not responding properly.

No but it will definitely effect your 5/100K warranty. Takle it in and let the techs diagnose it.

And Welcome to FTE lots of good people and info around here.
