the black cloud of expensive smoke has appeared!!!
Ran out to get some stuff for lunch and had no power peddle to the floor, power slowly comes back after a pretty large cloud of black smoke appears out the back, looks pretty expensive, injector maybe, hoping that dealer despite asking them forgot to change fuel filter's, air cleaner was done by me last week........ 6.0 PSD Excursion....

I'm convinced Ford hired Satan to design more than just the air filter for the 6.0 PSD.

My EGR plug fell off a long time ago. If I knew where it was I may reattach it, but the funny thing is that it runs a lot better.

Ford has a new ECM flash for the 6.0 for cold condition stumbling & low power. It basically disables the EGR until the engine warms up. You may want to get a reflash.
