you got to buy a kit to get rid of it and to keep it from setting a code. no idea on how easy it is.

I have an 04.5 LLY and I switched to the 06 LBZ air intake, had the computer reflashed, I was running the stock AC DELCO air filter in it and I would blow black smoke like I had a huge tune in it, I tried putting a WIX filter in it, it did the same thing, after about a week, I was seriously down on power, my filter life thing on the intake was at 80% with a new filter. I would flip the filter around and it would run fine for about 50 miles, egts would go way up smoke would come back and I was back down on power but still no check engine light. I put a K&N filter in it (I hate K&Ns) and it ran like a bat out of hell. I don't have any tunes in the computer never have, but I think I was sucking the filter closed.

that sounds pretty fishy
K&N filters can be the cause of MAF sensor malfunctions due to oil contaminating the sensor |

Scott is right the K&N oiled air filters are not good. They plug up the MAP sensor and can get into the turbo and could hurt the turbo. :c:

wow, 5 year old thread. digging up the grave are you?

My diesel instructor told me a story that when you get too much fuel into a cylinder it will discharge the excess carbon on the exhaust stroke. Maybe you are getting too much fuel.
