black smoke

Out of nowhere it started bellowing black smoke one day and a loss of power. I noticed that it would run fine when first started until it went to shift then it would start its issue. I would turn it off and back on it and it would be fine again until it went to shift into 2nd. I tried this...

Hi everyone- I'm new here and have run into a problem that makes little sense to me. I have 2003 6.0, 200k Excursion. About a month or so ago it began having trouble getting up hills at speed. It wouldn't downshift and simply strained to get up a hill. I looked into that and figured the EGR...

New to forums, Need help with 2007 F250 6.0 that starts up hard and has low to none boost. The turbo makes a very loud constant pinging, goes away when we unplug the turbo solenoid, so we do know that it is coming from the turbo. We also just cleaned the inside of the turbo and replaced the...

I hope someone can help a girl out! My 04 6.0 was running rough and I knew I had an injector or two sticking...then one morning it was all of a sudden super sluggish off the line and blowing black smoke until it would reach 30-35 mph. After that it would clear out and run ok. Pulled the codes...

2004. On a load going up a hill the engine seems to cough. When the load drops off and I accellerate again I have no power at all. After a few seconds and I hit the peddle a few times power returns and I get a huge cloud of black smoke.

I have a 2006 6.0. All stock. Started it up the other morning (~80 deg F) and it immediately started idling rough, almost to the point of stalling though it never stalled. Also blew black smoke, mostly on acceleration. Pulled it around back and checked the obvious things. EGR was clean and...
