First the truck....06 F250 6.0, 164,xxx miles on it. The only after market add I can see is a sinister EGR delete kit.
Now the issue...On start up huge amount of heavy black smoke and it never really disapates once the truck warms up. While driving the amount of black smoke doesn't change during acceleration, cruising or at idle. On the plus side don't have to worry about being tailgated. I'm experiencing no power loss, stalling or knocks, the truck seems to be running very strong. I'm getting anywhere from 13-15 MPG. No coolant loss or oil loss, and no fuel in the oil. I do notice a oil leak on the passenger side below the turbo. It has coated the side and top of the engine, but is not dripping on to the ground and leaving puddles.
I've parked the truck until I can get this figured out.
Any help would be apperciated....
