Hey guys my truck is completely stock and now suddenly it only boost up to 20lbs now (before it boost up too 34-35lbs) also I am SMOKING.. when i take off there's a pretty good size cloud and when i floor it at highway i can see a haze of smoke!! Is my dpf is clogged and thats why im boosting so low or what?? any kind of help would be much appreciated. theres 30,000 miles on the truck now.

What color is the smoke?

Sounds to me like maybe your EGR is stuck open.

Nevermind, I am retarded.

DPF is broke, if it's smoking black.

Still got warranty?

Yes sir warranty is still good!!
Thats what i was thinking, but was just hoping i was wrong!! lol
Do you think it will hurt anything if i leave it alone (turbo's, etc.)??
thx for your help!!

Boost stuck at 20psi could be a leak in a hose or a loose clamp too right?
