Question 2003 F250 6.0 Stumbles At About 3000 RPM

Hello all,
I have been having an issue that I cant seem to figure out. 03 6.0 is starting to to stumble severly when the rpm gets around 3000 and the turbo really spools up. I have changed the oil in the truck and at appropriate level and I have taken the EGR out and cleaned all the soot from it and made sure that it wasnt rattling, I have also changed out the fuel filters both lower rail and engine topside. It doesnt stumble as much as it did before after I did all these things. I can still fill the stumble slightly. I recently had the HPOP go out and replaced by a dealer in Florida who stripped out 4 valve cover bolts and 1 oil rail bolt. My local dealer had to helio all these last week to fix the oil leak. I have put an SCT Xcal 2 programmer on it and it is not throwing any codes. Any body have any possible solutions to this issue I would greatly appreciate them. I apologize in advance if there is a thread already containing this, but I have searched through them but may not be using the right terms to find my answer.

Thanks

Does it do this with and without the SCT downloaded?

yes it does, I just last week got the programmer, and I actually was having this issue when it was set to stock. I programmed it with an economy tune and it still did it, so I changed it back and still same issues.

ok upate after doing all that work to the truck, I put the stock program back in the truck and drove it for a day and it has cleared itself of all the problems. SO would it be possible that the tunes I am loading be giving the truck fits?

Its possible to cause probelms if your SCT Tunes are the incorrect strategy code.
