03 6.0 Probs
Dad's worktruck has been having some probs lately. I think it is the injectors but I'm not sure. It's an 03 6.0 Fx4 F-350 SRW. When you get on it the truck seems to bellow out quite a bit of black smoke, pulling hills it does the same. It just started to do this but otherwise bone stock except for an edge programmer but don't know if its even plugged in. On some hills it seems to lose power but get it back within a sec or two and do it bout 3 to 4 times on one hill and the RPM's stay the same. During all this the truck jerks around like it may be the tranny but dad says he thinks its the engine. It's got somewhere around 66,000 miles on it I think. Any help on this prob is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Need to check codes but from what you described, turbo vains sticking is what it sounds like. Injectors are also a possibility but without codes its a little hard to diagnose.
Check the oil level and if its high or low that would help to know. The oil injection sustem relys hevily on the level and quality of that oil.

EGR = exhaust gas recirculator valve. It's located on the top of the engine, forward and to the left of the fuel filter. Two wres plugged into the top and to 10 mm bolts holding it down. I use a large pair of channel locks to pull it after removing the bolts. Its in there tight as heck but get a good hold on it and it will pull up and out. Wiggle and pull, wiggle and pull. I'll see if i can find a picture.
