Did you dunk the front of the motor into the mud, if so you may have got the CPS wet ot muddy. It's on the front of the engine about 10 oclock when you looking at it.
Here's a pict of it looking up.

It was just a thought. If it is mechaniclly stuck you can open it and tie it back with wire. I haven't done this but hopefully someone else here can help with that one. If you have no luck maybe I can get to mine tomorrow night to let you know which way is closed and which is open.

thanks a bunch i really appreciate it, but is there any other problems that could be causing this, it seems odd that it would get mechanically stuck, but idk im sure no expert, as i said im new to diesels and most of waht know is what iv read off of fte.

It does sound as thought the EBPV is stuck part or all the way. Really no reason getting stuck would cause it but it worth a check. Cuda_Jim has a good picture of what it should look like open. I will try to find it or Jim can post it is he has a chance.

thanks a lot. that was the problem. i opened it and she goes no prob. what a relief. the pic was a lil diferant then the way my truck looks. the lever thing was on top, but also my truck has a bully dog brake that the vacume lines have been off since i bought the truck, and the other day my buddy decided to put them back on. so i guess that was probably what did it. also, since i live in new york, it might be a good idea to have that valve functional, should i just spray it untill its not tuff to muvo or what
