sounds like you may have yourself a possible egr cooler failure or even the head gaskets, where abouts you from and what all have you done with your truck mod wise?

Have a look at the valley on top of the motor and see if it is wet,if its bone dry pull the egr valve and see if the soot is wet or dry.If it is dry I would suspect the head gaskets or injector sleeve next.
