HELP TRUCK DOWN

Well i have a 01 F350 dually with 237k miles that was running fine till this morning, started truck up and white smoke galore, then proceeded to leave neighborhood and touch the throttle and black smoke everywhere, no power, funky idle,,,,no check engine light . its at neighborhood shop and they said something about EGR....? Does this truck have one since it has no emissions, i did notice coolant was low when i had hood up. I was thinking that metal hose from turbo pedastal ....truck has a 4 pos chip and wife said sat it wouldnt boost past 10 lbs ......? ANY IDEAS

no egr cooler on 7.3L you may have bad turbo or injector - usually grey/white and black smoke is over fueling one of the injectors may also be bad

change your fuel filter, and yes no egr. If it was me and a shop said anything about an egr in a 7.3 id get as far away from that shop that I can

Your truck DOES NOT have an EGR. Take it to a different shop who knows stuff about the 7.3.

I had mine go out last year but smoke for low fuel pressure is blue. Wouldnt boost or wouldnt go over 10 mph. When you were describing it in first post it all seemed like fuel pump except for the black smoke.
