I was wondering if someone could help me out with an answer to why my truck all of a sudden stopped pouring out black smoke like it used to.

I have a video on this site here and on youtube called king of the quarry, at about 1:00 in the vid my truck stopped pouring out the black smoke and it turned grey and almost white looking for a little while. But now it doesnt smoke at all unless i'm at a standstill and punch it than there is a little bit of black but not much.

just added the link for my vid

 

not knowing alot about the 6.0's i would say headgasket, EGR, or a combination of both

 

maybe your programmer took a dump

 

Got any Codes?

 

The only code I have is for the EGR which I have replaced three times already. I frequently drive in 8hr shots and every time it plugs the EGR. But that is the only code I have still to this point.

My programmer seems to be working fine no problems at all with it besides my egt monitor stopped working and I think it is there box that the probe plugs into cause I have a good ohm reading on the probe. Bullydog said its cause ford has a different exhaust gasket material so there was no ground but I grounded the probe and still no reading.

I was making a date for a head gasket and bolts today so that will get done.

 

my guess would be u got water into your connections on what ever programmer ur running

 

Possibly submerging the truck up to the hood in water may have had something to do with it???

 

 

No that wouldnt make no sense

 

Just after I did that I took the intake off and changed out most of my fuilds and didnt have water i anything and I dont have any loss of power at all.. just less smoke.

And my egt monitor stopped working long before that video.

I was basically wondering if my head gasket went, would that be a reason for less smoke, or is it more possible I got a little bit of water in there?
I realize what I did in to the truck but nothing really seems wrecked and I've put on a fair bit of miles since than.
