hey guys. I'm wonderin if somebody might have some ideas for me...I drive a 04 F250 6.0 with about 190k Everything was running fine until the other day. I had just got done driving about 25 miles on the interstate, and when I got off on my exit and stopped, my truck started running really rough and smoking a lot. It smokes more when I accelerate, and the smoke is pretty black at the pipe and smells like really strong diesel.
Any ideas on what my problem might be? I'm on a pretty limited budget and would love to be able to fix it myself. Thanks for any help that you can offer!
A few things could be causing this. Check to make sure your electrical connection to your turbo is solid. Remove and clean the EGR valve. If these dont fix it you might have stuck turbo veins. If that is the case you need to remove the turbo and clean the corrosion off of the unison ring. If that does not fix it you might have a bad injector. Ill let others comment as I might have missed another possibility.

I checked the electrical connection to the turbo and it looks fine, one other question tho, if the problem was in the egr valve wouldn't I get a code or a check engine light?

Probably not on your 04....

My Vote is for an injector... When my last one went t went pretty quick And you couldn't see behind me the black smoke was so thick.. Good luck

Well, I finally got a day off of work and had time to look at my truck. I got a code reader and tried to read for a code, but there was no code. I also pulled out the EGR valve and cleaned it. It looked worse than any dirty EGR valve I have ever seen in pictures. It also had what looked like grease in the middle rather than just carbon build up. Is this normal? Or could it be one more thing that points to a failed injector? I thought it may be unburnt diesel.
Anyways, when I started my truck it ran a lot smoother, but still smokes alot.
I guess I'm going to have to break down and take it to a shop.
Hey everybody, thanks for all of you who posted on my thread...Finally got it into the shop and apparently it's the #2 injector. So it is supposed to be done tomorrow. One big pain in the rear and $600 later I'll be back on the road. Thanks again!
