06 6.0 missing please help

My truck seems to be missing due to a fuel problem, most of the time between 70mph and 80mph as I accelerate it jumps and jerks, if I stand on the pedal it goes away or if I let off it stops. It also does it real bad when pulling a heavy load. I have taken it to the dealership two times and they haven't found the problem. but also they don't go drive it at 80 either. Hopefully one of you gurus have seen this before. Thanks in advance

I'll actually be pulling mine out to clean it. From what I've been told here on the site and from what else I've read, it may be stuck which will not allow the boost to build properly.

It might matter...I'd take it off and see if anything changes before tearing into the motor.

I have tried that before and it still did it with the programmer out, UPDATE: I pulled the EGR and it was nastier than the one in the how to picture, in some spots there was at least an eighth inch thickness of black ****, anyway I went for a spin on the hwy and I couldn't get it to act up anymore, but that doesn't mean its fixed cause somedays it doesn't act up. As of now I'm gonna hope its fixed but if acts up again I will post back thanks for the help
