6.0 falling on its face at about 3000 rpm
ok this just started the other day i run my truck hard i am always on the pedal but now when i hammer on it, it jumps and starts off good gets to about 3000 rpm and just falls on its face i do not know it its blowing smoke to cold up here right now but no black smoke, and also it looks like i am blowing water out of the over flow to but not running hot, i have a laptop diagnostic but not really to shure what to look for if there is no load on it motor sounds fine only under load. i have 4in ex. turbo back and hyperteck e-con programmer, any help would be good

Welcome to the 6.0 world of potentially needing head gaskets. I'd suggest deleting the EGR cooler first to prevent spending too much so soon. Otherwise start collecting money for the big job of head studs.

Probably isn't shifting right. The hypertech does nothing for the trans. I'd look into custom tuning with an SCT after you get it straightened out. It's really the only thing capable of accessing the TCM and controlling the way the trans shifts with hotter tunes.
Pull the EGR valve and see what it looks like in there. If it's wet, do an EGR delete right away.
How do you know it's not running hot? What are your gauges saying? (I mean aftermarket gauges, not the factory fool gauges that read nothing).
